  2. Ram,
    Thankyou for your comment.
    Yes, you may be right. Not everyone uses all the shortcuts listed here. This nis all about how you use the software and for what purposes.
    You may be using a set of them and someone else may be using another set.
    Anyway I will try to be more useful next time.
    Hope you are enjoying the blog. Keep coming back. Feedbacks like this are as important to me as the admiration is.

    Have a nice day!
