Windows keyboards have a backspace key and a delete key. Oddly enough Mac only has a delete key which equals windows backspace key. This is problematic when needing the three-finger-salute on a Mac running Windows which exist in my work environment. This means you need the onscreen keyboard which on a mac is Apple+U and on the windows keyboard it is Windows+U. Just sayin... One more key – this time MAC is missing it.

And I knew exactly what you did...ah, to have a dollar for everytime I did the copy/paste thing and forgot to edit it. :) When you get a plug on InDesign Secrets you gotta expect lots of hits.

I did a copy/paste and forgot to change the rest of the text. To be honest I was just using it as a filler to view my CSS formatting. Oh well, I suppose I need to cross my i's and dot my t's from now on... Thanks Bob, I made the edits ;)

Just a quick note on the above. The modifiers on Windows are Alt, Ctrl, and Shift. You might also want to take note that there's a quasi-corresponding key on Windows to the Mac Control key. Usually referred to as the Windows key, there's a lot of keyboard shortcuts that use it on the operating system level. AFAIK, however it can't be used at the application level.
