Windows

If you have programs (e.g. Internet Explorer, Word, Excel) pinned to your TaskBar, hold the Windows Logo key and press 1 to start the first program, Windows Logo + 2 for the second and so on.

Excel

Do you need a non-numbered paragraph in the middle of a numbered list? Type the whole numbered list, including the paragraph that doesn't need a number.

Outlook

If you have the standard Navigation options: Mail, Calendar, People, Tasks at the bottom left of your Outlook screen, press CTRL+1 to switch to the first item (normally Mail), CTRL+2 for the second and so on.

PowerPoint

Are your Properties and formulas difficult to read - Access uses an 8-point font for many things, which is not always easy to read. Select the property you want to view or modify and press SHIFT+F2 to open the Zoom box where you can increase the font size temporarily.
