FrontPage98 Tips 

 

12. Use keyboard shortcuts 

Using a program's menu bar to execute commands can be convenient, but we all know it's not efficient. That's why most applications come with keyboard equivalents for their more important functions. Often, however, applications include shortcuts for even moderately used features. FrontPage 98 is no exception. You might find these keyboard tricks useful: 

Insert line breaks (Shift-Enter)
Pressing Enter while editing text in the FrontPage Editor creates a new paragraph, but what if you only want your cursor to begin a new line? To insert a line break in the FrontPage Editor, hold down the Shift key while pressing Enter. 

Navigate table cells (Shift-Tab)
While working inside of a table in the FrontPage Editor, you can easily move from cell to cell by hitting the Tab key. Holding down the Shift key at the same time will reverse your direction. 

Extend tables (Tab)
If you've reached the end of a table and your cursor is inside the last cell, hitting Tab automatically extends the table and creates a new row of cells. 

Find items fast 
You can quickly search through a list box (for instance, when choosing a new font) by pressing the first letter of the item for which you're looking. If you want to find the first font beginning with the letter V, for example, just click the Font command list box and then type V. 

Superscript (Ctrl-+)
To format text in superscript, instead of milling through a bunch of menus, hit Ctrl and the plus key. 

Subscript (Ctrl--)
Same as above, only hit Ctrl and the minus sign instead of the plus sign.
