This section of the Excel Guide offers all shortcuts you need to open, navigate between, and control all of these options. Mac menus and keyboards often use symbols for certain keys, including modifier keys:Įach workbook acts as its own separate window on your PC or Mac, while each worksheet acts as a tab within a workbook with separate cells. For example, to use Command-C (copy), press and hold the Command key, then the C key, then release both keys. To use a keyboard shortcut, press and hold one or more modifier keys and then press the last key of the shortcut.
