I included the shortcuts below along with a small document where I used a few of them. Actually using them to change a document was helpful. I think I will also keep the list by my computer so I can refer to it. A weird thing happened when I got an e-mail from the Helpdesk sister and trying to install Jing! I asked her how we do screen shots in the District and she e-mailed me the directions--including using Ctrl-V to velcro the thing where I want it. The good news is I had just used Ctrl-V so knew what she was talking about! (The bad news is that I couldn't take a screen shot of the document I revised so did it the old way.) More work will be needed before I am Jing!--ing.
