KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS FOR TABBED DIALOG BOXES

You can navigate through multi-tabbed dialog boxes without your mouse. You would use the keyboard shortcut of holding down the Ctrl key and then tapping the Tab key to go forward from one tab to another. To move in the opposite direction, hold down the Ctrl key and the Shift key as you tap on the tab key. To navigate forward through the different areas of a dialog box, use the Tab key by itself, or to move backward, hold down the Shift key as you tap the Tab key. If you get to a drop-down menu box, hold down the Alt key as you tap on the Up arrow or the Down arrow. When you reach a check box, you just tap the spacebar to put a check mark in it.
