Can anybody tell me the "Keyboard" shortcut for indenting text in a cell. i.e., I do not want to touch my mouse.

Thanks
 
Hello,

I don't beleive there is one, as seen from the help file

To Press
Display the Style command (Format menu) ALT+' (APOSTROPHE)
Display the Cells command (Format menu) CTRL+1
Apply the General number format CTRL+SHIFT+~
Apply the Currency format with two decimal places (negative numbers appear in parentheses) CTRL+SHIFT+$
Apply the Percentage format with no decimal places CTRL+SHIFT+%
Apply the Exponential number format with two decimal places CTRL+SHIFT+^
Apply the Date format with the day, month, and year CTRL+SHIFT+#
Apply the Time format with the hour and minute, and indicate A.M. or P.M. CTRL+SHIFT+@
Apply the Number format with two decimal places, 1000 separator, and – for negative values CTRL+SHIFT+!
Apply the outline border CTRL+SHIFT+&
Remove all borders CTRL+SHIFT+_
Apply or remove bold formatting CTRL+B
Apply or remove italic formatting CTRL+I
Apply or remove an underline CTRL+U
Apply or remove strikethrough formatting CTRL+5
Hide rows CTRL+9
Unhide rows CTRL+SHIFT+(
Hide columns CTRL+0 (ZERO)
Unhide columns CTRL+SHIFT+)


Why not create your own macro and store it in the personal file, you can create a shortcut key yourself.

Hope this helps.

It used to be much more straightforward, but you should still be able to record the indent and outdent commands as macros and then assign a keyboard shortcut to them

Done - a 20second job via the wonderful world of Macros. Didn't know if there was already a predefined way.

Thanks
 
Open VB editor (Under Tools|Macro)

Paste into the code window for This Workbook:

Sub Macro1()
Selection.InsertIndent 1
End Sub

Go back to the spreadsheet, Tools|macros, select Macro 1 and click on Options. This allows you to set the control key to fire the macro.

Good Luck
