Introduction

You can use OpenOffice (AOO) without 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. AOO has its own extensive set of keyboard shortcuts and, in addition, each component of AOO provides others which are specific to that component's function.

For help with AOO’s keyboard shortcuts, or using AOO with a keyboard only, search the AOO Help using the “shortcut” or “accessibility” keywords.

As well as 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 suite.

To adapt shortcut keys to your needs, use the Customize dialog as described in this section and in “Customizing keyboard shortcuts” in Chapter 11 (Setting Up and Customizing Impress).
