Introduction to Shortcuts
You
can use OpenOffice.org (OOo) without requiring a pointing device,
such as a mouse or trackball, by using its built-in keyboard
shortcuts. Tasks as varied and complex as docking and un-docking
toolbars and windows, or changing the size or position of objects
can all be accomplished with only a
keyboard. Although OOo has its own extensive set of keyboard
shortcuts, each component provides others which are specific to its
work.
For
help with OOo’s keyboard shortcuts, or
using OOo with a keyboard only, search the OOo Help using the
“shortcut” or “accessibility”
keywords.
In
addition to using the built-in keyboard shortcuts (listed in this
Appendix), you can also define your own. You can assign shortcuts to
standard Impress functions or your own macros and save them for use
with Impress only, or with the entire OpenOffice.org suite.
To
adapt shortcut keys to your needs, use the Customize dialog as
described in this section and in “Customizing keyborad shortcuts”
in Chapter 10 (Setting Up and Customizing Impress).
