Using the ALT Key in QuickBooks
Part of the QuickBooks For Dummies Cheat Sheet (Australian Edition)
Every command in QuickBooks includes an underlined letter. To execute these commands, just press the Alt key, followed by each relevant letter. Here's an example:
| Keystrokes | Result |
|---|---|
| Alt+B+I | Goes to the Banking menu, followed by Import Bank Statement |
| Alt+C+T | Goes to the Company menu, followed by the To Do List |
You can also combine (press together) the Alt key with a few other keyboard tricks to fly around QuickBooks at a rate of knots. For example:
| Keystroke combination | Destination |
|---|---|
| Alt-Tab | Next field |
| Alt-Shift-Tab | Previous field |
| Alt-Home | Beginning of current field |
| Alt-End | End of current month |
| Alt-Ctrl-Page Up | First item on list or previous month in register |
| Alt-Ctrl-Page Down | Last item on list or next month in register |
