Appendix A Appendix

In the Appendix, you find lists of the most-used keyboard shortcuts for StarOffice. Open the online help to find complete lists of all available keyboard shortcuts, and lists of the keyboard shortcuts to use if you cannot use a mouse.

Note –

Your system may use a keyboard mapping that grabs some keystrokes for system actions. In this case StarOffice 8 cannot respond to the same keyboard command. In most cases, you can assign other keys to either the system settings or to StarOffice 8.
