Microsoft Money Keyboard Shortcuts

Navigate Microsoft Money Features

By , About.com Guide

In addition using the toolbar icons and links to move around Microsoft Money, you can navigate through Money by using a combination of strokes on your keyboard.

To use these keyboard combinations, you need to press and hold down the first key in the combination, then press the second key. For example: to print, you must first press and hold down the Ctrl key, then press the P key. Release both keys at the same time.

For three-key combinations, such as Ctrl + Shift + A to go to Accounts List, hold down Ctrl and Shift, then press down A and release all three keys at the same time.
