Chapter 25: Keyboard shortcuts

Adobe InDesign CS3 provides shortcuts to help you quickly work in documents without using the mouse. Many
keyboard shortcuts appear next to the command names in menus. You can use the default InDesign shortcut set, the
QuarkXPress 4.0 or Adobe PageMaker 7.0 shortcut set, or a shortcut set that you create. You can share shortcut sets
with others using InDesign on the same platform.
