Question Things one can't do from the keyboard - for instance Format Painter and AutoCorrect Options

Is there a list anywhere of "things you can't do from the keyboard?"



As a member of the admittedly dwindling cadre of touch typists, I try to minimize the number of times I have to take my right hand away from the keyboard and reach for the mouse (or--brr--the touch-pad).

Two examples that I've been working on for many months:
1. "invoking the 'format painter' function"--I've tried every way I know to assign this to a custom key, but can't.
2. "reaching the autocorrect screen"--I can record a macro that will go there, but can't stop the recording. Maybe someone who knows more about VB could help me there.

And as an aside, when did it stop being possible to include mouse clicks in a recorded macro? I'm pretty sure I could do it under Word2003 and win7.

If I had a list of things that positively couldn't be done from the keyboard, at least I could stop trying (and bothering others by asking)
