These keyboard shortcuts are for OpenOffice on Microsoft Operating Systems and Linux Distributions.  For Mac OS X Keyboard Shortcuts, go [http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Porting_-_Keyboard_Shortcuts here], or simply substitute the Command key(also known as the Apple Key) for the Control key on most shortcuts.

For help with OOo’s keyboard shortcuts, or using OOo with a keyboard only, search the OOo Help using the “shortcut” or “accessibility” keywords.
 
= Assigning shortcut keys =
 
In addition to using the built-in keyboard shortcuts (listed later in this Appendix), you can define your own. You can assign shortcuts to standard Writer functions or your own macros and save them for use with Writer only, or with the entire OpenOffice.org suite.
 
 
'''Caution:''' Be careful when reassigning your operating system’s or OOo’s predefined shortcut keys. Many key assignments are universally understood shortcuts, such as ''F1'' for Help, and are always expected to provide certain results. Although you can easily reset the shortcut key assignments to the OOo defaults, changing some common shortcut keys can cause confusion, frustration and possible data loss or corruption, especially if other users share your computer.
 
 
To adapt shortcut keys to your needs, use the Customize dialog, as described in this section and in the section titled “Assigning styles to shortcut keys” in Chapter 7 (Working with Styles).
 
 
As an example, suppose you wish to apply a particular character style during document creation or editing, for example to add emphasis to a word, and you would like to do this using a shortcut key combination, rather than using the rather more long-winded menu access. You could assign ''Shift-F3'' as a shortcut for this purpose, as described below:
 
 
# Select '''Tools > Customize > Keyboard'''. The Customize dialog opens.
 
# To have the shortcut key assignment available only with Writer, select the '''Writer''' button (located at the upper right corner of the '''Keyboard''' tab); otherwise select the '''OpenOffice.org''' button which will make it available to every component.
 
# Next select '''Styles > CharacterStyles''' in the ''Category'' list and '''Strong Emphasis''' in the ''Function'' list.
 
# Now select the shortcut keys ''Shift+F4 ''in the ''Shortcut keys'' list and click the '''Modify''' button at the upper right.
 
# Click '''OK''' to accept the change. Now the ''Shift+F4'' shortcut will apply the Strong Emphasis style to any selection.
 
[[Image:WG-A1.png|Customize dialog]]<br>''Customize dialog.''
 
 
'''Notes:'''
 
# All existing shortcut keys for the currently selected ''Function'' are listed in the ''Keys'' selection box. Since there is no currently assigned shortcut for the '''Styles > CharacterStyles''' function the ''Keys'' list is empty. If it were not, and you wished to reassign a shortcut key combination that is already in use, you must first '''Delete''' the existing ''Key''.
 
# Shortcut keys that are greyed-out in the listing on the Customize dialog, such as ''F1'' and ''F10,'' are not available for reassignment.
 
# Remember, since the '''Writer''' button was selected at the start of this procedure, the newly assigned shortcut key will only work within the Writer component. To set this shortcut for use by all of the components within the suite, repeat this procedure after first selecting the '''OpenOffice.org''' button.
 
 
== Saving changes to a file ==
 
Changes to the shortcut key assignments (and other configurations) can be saved in a keyboard configuration file for use at a later time, thus permitting you to create and apply different configurations as the need arises. To save keyboard shortcuts to a file:
 
 
# After making your keyboard shortcut assignments, click the '''Save''' button near the bottom right of the Customize dialog.
 
# In the Save Keyboard Configuration dialog, select ''All files'' from the '''Save as Type''' list.
 
# Next enter a name for the keyboard configuration file in the '''File name''' box, or select an existing file from the list. If you need to, browse to find a file from another location.
 
# Click '''Save'''. A confirmation dialog will appear if you are about to overwrite an existing file, otherwise there will be no feedback and the file will be saved.
 
 
== Loading a saved keyboard configuration ==
 
To load a saved keyboard configuration file and replace your existing configuration, click the '''Load''' button near the bottom right of the Customize dialog, and then select the configuration file from the Load Keyboard Configuration dialog.
 
 
== Resetting the shortcut keys ==
 
To reset all of the keyboard shortcuts to their default values, click the '''Reset''' button near the bottom right of the Customize dialog. Use this feature with care as no confirmation dialog will be displayed; the defaults will be set without any further notice or user input.
 
 
== Running macros ==
 
You can also define shortcut key combinations that will run macros. These shortcut keys are strictly user-defined; none are built in. For information on macros, see Chapter 17 (Getting started with macros) in the ''Getting Started'' book.

These keyboard shortcuts are for OpenOffice on Microsoft Operating Systems and Linux Distributions. For Mac OS X Keyboard Shortcuts, go here, or simply substitute the Command key(also known as the Apple Key) for the Control key on most shortcuts.

This is Appendix A of the OpenOffice.org 2.x Writer Guide (Third edition), produced by the OOoAuthors group. A PDF of this chapter is available from the OOoAuthors Guides page at OpenOffice.org.

Shortcut keys: Introduction

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.
