Shortcut advise

The only advice I can give you is use the Help file and if
that fails, then post a question that has a definite
purpose, not a huge generalization. There are literally
hundreds of different kinds of shortcuts.
 
Where do you want the shortcut to go? Inside excel or outside, to another
file.

Or are you talking generally about Windows shortcuts?

Hi Mary,
Please always include the question in the body of the text. Your thank you
in the body would indicate that the question had been answered.

Your question is too ambiguous, what kind of advise are you
looking for. I'd suggest not wiping out existing shortcuts
provided with you software. Looking up shortcuts in the HELP
file is very troublesome because they have broken it into
categories that you have to load separately (and this is on your
system) in order to find something. I have put the shortcut keys
information from HELP into one web page which makes things
workable for me. (keys are the same from Excel 97 on up)

arranged by categories and you use FIND to locate from
words or shortcut key combination. (108KB, 28 pages)

Chip Pearson provides a different approach to listing the shortcut keys,
they are in a table that you look up by keyboard combinations, the
descriptions are therefore very abbreviated..

You can invoke you own macros from
-- your own shortcut key combinations
-- toolbar icons
-- toolbar menus
but since this is worksheet.functions and not programming you
probably aren't asking about this.

I see from StarTrek...'s answer another possibility might be
hyperlinks. In which case buildtoc2.htm, and
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/sheets.htm
are more oriented to excel.worksheet.functions. Another sheet
buildtoc.htm is more oriented to excel.programming
