Creating Your Own Keyboard Shortcuts
You can also create your own keyboard shortcuts by adding features that you use frequently to the Quick Access Toolbar. To do so, right-click the button for any Quizmaker feature, and select Add to Quick Access Toolbar.
Then, to launch any of the buttons on the Quick Access Toolbar via a keyboard shortcut, press and hold the ALT key on your keyboard and press the number key that matches the button you want to launch. For example, the first button on the Quick Access Toolbar is "1," the second button is "2," etc.
