Our favorite Outlook 2011 keyboard shortcuts
 |
I don’t know about you, but the first time I looked at a Mac keyboard, I felt like I needed a hieroglyphics interpreter. I ended up having to make a cheat sheet for |
Fifteen years later, despite the sometimes finger-bending COMMAND + SHIFT + OPTION + ALT’ing, I’m still a huge fan of keyboard shortcuts.
Turns out that I’m not the only one. After polling my co-workers, I pulled together a few of our favorites for Outlook 2011.
We hope you find them useful, and that you’ll share some of your favorites as well.

Good to know! Thanks for the info.
I know you all said that you are working on full screen mode with Lion, and it will be months not days, its been a few months, any progress? Does this look like a feature that will be added with a 14.x update, or will it be when Office 15.0 comes out?
The more I use Lion the more I love this feature and would love to see Office support this.
Hi Jeff. Thanks for your comment. Nothing new or different to report about Office on Lion at this time. In case you missed the original post, it is here:

After verifying my current Apple keyboard, and my MICROSOFT keyboard lighted keyboard, I still don’t see those hieroglyphics on the apple keyboard. I see the right-angle arrow you mention on the MICROSOFT keyboard Enter key. on the Apple keyboard I only see the word “enter” . Interesting.
Whatever happened to the ability to add a simple Check Box field in MS Word?
Hi, John. Apologies, and you are right. I meant to say that the symbolic shortcuts are on the menus (File, Edit, View, etc.). Thanks for pointing out the mistake. As for the check box, you can create forms by using the Developer tab on the ribbon. This topic contains the information your’re looking for. Hope that helps.

I have just purchased office 2011 for my mac and so far i really love it, one of the most amazing features is layers! Man you guys have thought outside the box on that one! The version I purchased did not have outlook but it allowed me to try it. I would like to just purchase outlook but it wants me to purchase a whole new office version. Is this necessary or am I missing something?
Thanks
Hi Stan. Thanks for your comment. Take a look at the following support article for information on how to upgrade to the Home & Business version which includes Outlook. Thanks.
