Auditors ask, “a checkmark symbol please ?”

In Word's and PowerPoint's font sets, you will find a few feeble checkmark options available via the Insert, Symbol tool, as follows. The Symbol font set includes a weird checkmark that resembles a partial

square root symbol (√) more than a checkmark

Excel: Keyboarding for speed

by J. Carlton Collins, CPA October 1, 2016 - (JofA)

Advanced computer users know that once they've mastered key-

board commands, they usually can navigate menus faster with the

keyboard than with a mouse.

For example, you probably learned long ago that pressing Ctrl+C

to copy and Ctrl+V to paste is quicker than clicking on the men-

us to accomplish the same task. Don't stop there. Excel's shortcut

menus can speed up dozens of common commands.

With speed in mind, presented below are a few of my favorite

Excel keyboard commands. How many do you already know?

Email workbook as a PDF attachment (Alt+FHEF).

To email your entire workbook as a PDF attachment, press the

Alt key and type F, H, E, F, then enter the email address and

press the Send button.

Merge and center text (Alt+HMC). To merge and center text,

highlight the cells you want to merge, then press the Alt key and

press H, M, C.

Insert a picture (Alt+NC). To insert a new picture into an Excel

workbook, press the Alt key, press N, C, and then navigate to

and select the desired picture and press Enter.

Insert the current date (Ctrl+;). To insert the current date, se-

lect any cell and press Ctrl+;. This action inserts a fixed date as a

number. If you want a date that always reflects the current date,

enter the function =TODAY(), and the date will change auto-

matically in sync with your computer's calendar.

print more quickly (Ctrl+F2). Pressing Ctrl+F2 will launch Ex-

cel's Print screen. Paste Special (Ctrl+Alt+V). Pressing

Ctrl+Alt+V will launch the Paste Special dialog box. Format

faster (Ctrl+1). Pressing Ctrl+1 launches the Format Cells dialog

box. Access the keyboard menu (Alt). Pressing the Alt key pops

up the keyboard selections that correspond to Excel's main men-

us .
