When using InDesign, roll your mouse over the tools and you'll see that it will show the little yellow tag with the name of the tool and, between parenthesis, the shortcut to it. It works the same way Photoshop and Illustrator do. They all have a letter for each tool. That way you don't have to go all the way up and down thru the palette. And if you use Photoshop for your images, you won't have to be making up your mind avery time you change applications.
Art Director: It's funny that I know the shortcuts for the Adobe applications, but, like you, I never memorized those for Quark.
