Ctrl+1: Format cells in Excel

Posted in Microsoft Excel by estephen on April 9th, 2007

This week we’ll cover Microsoft Excel tips.

One of the most useful Excel shortcuts is Ctrl+1 (that’s the number one), which brings up the format cell dialog box. Once there, recall you can press Ctrl+Tab to cycle between tabs on the dialog box (Number, Alignment, Font, etc.).

To use the keyboard with the dialog box, you may want to review keyboard navigation of dialog boxes.

    Ctrl+1 does not work for me. Am I doing it wrong?
