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

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

RE: Indenting Shortcut

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

RE: Indenting Shortcut

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
