[QUOTE="hari.p, post: 806910, member: 87488"] to smcgil9899 - i'm a very heavy user of outlook 07 and excel 07. As i'm trying to mentally prepare myself for the switch, i realise that although i'm a "heavy" user of both these applications, the "heaviness" is from the fact that i use a lot of keyboard shortcuts rather than the mouse - which speeds up a lot of my work. My work in Excel is SIMPLE but very detailed spreadsheets with a lot of BASIC formulas like sum / average etc. but moving between such long sheets is quite a task.. My work in Outlook is again SIMPLE - i use the categories / tasks / notes / contacts extensively and switch from one to another with a lot of keyboard shortcuts which enables me to handle a decent amount of emails / todos everyday. In a very general sense, i assume Macs would support and encourage shortcuts right? If anybody who has used excel / outlook 07 could reply this, it would be very helpful. Finally, i also realise that at the age of 43, its becoming a bit of a personal challenge to try and revamp my way of working. I loved what bobtomay wrote and i quote "You will need a mindset of learning how to do things on your Mac". i'm hoping i'll live up to my expectations. [/QUOTE]
