Title: Forget the Mouse
I find it really annoying to always be switching back and forth between the mouse and the keys, so I have figured out how to do almost everthing on the computer using only the keyboard. I'll share a few things here.
1. At the top of almost every screen there are some tabs. To pull these tabs up, hit Alt+whatever the first letter of the tab is. Then use the arrow keys and enter to choose whatever you need.
2. In Microsoft Word, there are a lot of functions you can complete without the mouse. Save=Ctrl+s Copy=Ctrl+c Paste=Ctrl+v Print=Ctrl+p To find out other functions experiment or click on 'Add or Remove Buttons'.
3. This one I don't really know how to explain, so I'll use an example. When you're publishing stuff here in storyteller, you see a whole bunch of boxes to fill in. If you just click inside 'First Name,' you can hit the Tab button to move to Age. From there, hit it again to go to town, then again for country, you get the picture.
These are just a few of the ways I know to avoid the mouse. I've figured out all of them on my own, so you can too. Just fool around and experiment a bit. Remember, if you get into trouble, all you have to do is hit Ctrl+Alt+Del to exit the program.
