Keyboard shortcuts in the Federal Proposal template

I am a firm believer in using keyboard shortcuts. After a short learning curve (committing the keyboard shortcuts to memory), your efficiency will increase so much that you will soon forget about the time it took to learn the shortcuts in the first place.

I have not fully developed the keyboard shortcuts in the Federal Proposal template yet, but I have made a start and thought I should share these with you. Please contact me with any suggested shortcuts that you think may help increase our efficiency or make it easier to work in proposal documents.
