Q. Can keyboard shortcuts be used in Internet Explorer?
 

A. Shortcut keys can be used to move through Web pages, look at a print preview before printing, use the Address bar, organize and add to favorites, and select items and copy them to the Clipboard. Many of the keyboard shortcuts are identical to those in Word or other MS programs. Open an Internet Explorer window, press F1 or Alt + H for Help, press Enter or C for Contents and Index, type in keyboard shortcuts, press Enter or Alt + D for Display, press the down arrow to Using Internet Explorer Keyboard Shortcuts, press Enter or Alt + D for Display and there is a menu of categories. If you want to print them all out, click on each of the plus signs to expand the category, press Alt +O for Options, and Alt +P for Print. I'm going to list a few that I think are most helpful if I can't or don't want to use a mouse.

To Do This Press This
Display Internet Explorer Help F1
Toggle between full-screen and regular views of the browser window F11
Go to the next page (Forward) Alt + Right arrow
Go to previous page (Back) Alt + Left arrow or Backspace
Print the current page
Ctrl + P
Set printing options and print the page Alt + P
Display the first page to be printed Alt + Home
Zoom in Alt + Plus

Select the text in the Address bar Alt + D
Add "http://www." and ".com" to text typed in the Address bar Ctrl + Enter
Add the current page to your favorites Ctrl + D

A. Click on Table or press Alt + A, select Insert, select Table, select number of rows and columns needed, and select the type of column widths you prefer (AutoFit Behavior).
