Find/replace Alt 0010 For Mac
An ongoing shortfall on the Mac (for me) has always been the lack of Alt-key control of the menus in Office-in Word, PowerPoint and especially Excel. Since I can't take 'no' for an answer I thought I'd try this forum, although Apple.com doesn't seem to have a place for non-Apple apps for the Mac. I am looking for Alt-key navigation for the Mac versions of Windows Office (at least as available through Windows Office 2003 versions). If you've never used Excel on a Windows machine, you will likely misunderstand this request (based on my review of Google search results).
In Windows Excel 2003, you can access any menu command through the keyboard in a very efficient way. A lot of Mac people respond to Alt-key questions with the standard shortcuts (Command 'O' is open) or thinking the problem is that there is user confusion because there is no Alt key ('it's the Option or Command key'). All this is known and used often.
If you want to replace these line-breaks with for example a space, you can do this with Excel's find/replace command. In the 'Find what:' box you can enter the line-break code, which is character number 10. To do this, press and hold the Alt key, and then enter the numbers 010 from the numeric part of the keyboard. On the mac keyboard, you have two keys that are going to be of interest. The Option Key, and the command key. Both are side by side. The option key, is also the ALT key for some programs. You can sometimes press the option key, of you may need to press Shift and the Option key to mimic the alt key function. Remove or Replace Line Breaks (Alt+Enter) in Excel. The Remove and Replace part can be done with the Find and Replace tool, where the only trick you have to know, is to use the Ctrl+J or Alt+0010 (the 0010 has to be typed in the numeric part of the keyboard) combination in the Find Box.
I'm also not interested in the Accessibility feature (Ctrl-F2) which is very slow compared to direct access since you're essentially replicating a mouse action, rather than an actual keyboard shortcut. This question is application specific (Office); I know about OS system shortcuts (and use those often as well). What I am interested in is leveraging keyboard commands, since although not GUI and oh-so-not-nouveau- cool, are the old fashioned way expert users get work done really fast. When you need to pound in data, keeping your hands on the keyboard is always faster than typing, the mouse/eye, then hands back to typing, then mouse/eye. What I am looking for is some trickery, macro, add-in, something that replicates being able to hold down the 'Alt' (option or command or control on the Mac) key and type TOG (for example), which will instantly execute toggling grid on or off (Tools/Option/Grid). WAO ( window/ arrange/h orizontal), and so on through tens or hundreds of very frequently used menu combinations. In addition to just being faster, this approach is faster if you get 'mouse fatigue' (eye strain or wrist/hand strain or both), especially on multiple and large displays at high resolution.
With Windows Alt key navigation, you can navigate by touch typing even if you're using an infrequently used menu combination by holding down the Alt key and reading the menu, seeing the shortcut (underlined letter), typing it, and moving on to the next submenu (or the next work task). Granted, Microsoft's new Ribbon interface (started on Office 2007 on Windows) seems to indicate the world thinks more GUI is needed, but I've yet to find an expert user who doesn't hate it.
Fortunately in 'Ribbon' versions of Office, you can still type most Alt key shortcuts from memory. They're not documented anymore since there are no 'menus' with the Ribbon. Sort of the world's largest collection of Easter Eggs. I'm bilingual Windows/Mac. I've always had Macs at home, and mostly Windows at work (except for two companies. One of which was Apple!).
I'm resurrecting this issue because I'm really kind of aggravated that when I have serious Excel work to do for my personal life, I do it on my work computer because the mouse/menu approach is so much slower. So, isn't there some Add-in that can simulate the keyboard shortcuts at least partial Windows users know and love (and are really better. It's ok guys, sometimes one can learn from the dark side).

Remove line breaks in Excel. Very similar to search for line breaks you can also remove or replace them. Instead of “Find”, use the “Replace” tab of the search window and replace them with a blank space (” “).
Open the search window by pressing Ctrl + f on the keyboard. Type Ctrl + j into the search field and press Enter. As the “Replace with” value enter a space character. Click on “Replace All” or just “Replace” if you want to go cell by cell. In some cases, there a space characters at the end of a line. When that happens, you will get a double space.
You might want to use the replace function again, but this time replace all double spaces (type 2x space on the keyboard) by just one space. Remove line breaks in Excel with the SUBSTITUE formula. Of course, replacing or removing line breaks is also possible using formulas. The easiest way is to use the. If your input text is located in cell B3, the formula looks like this: = SUBSTITUTE ( B3, CHAR ( 10 ), ' ' ). The first part contains the input text.
In our case it’s cell B3. The second part has the text which you want to replace. In our case it’s the line break, given by CHAR(10).

In the third part you provide the replacement. Usually it’s a space character.

As sometimes the lines already end with a space, you might get double spaces. We recommend replacing double spaces by single space characters. Therefore, just use the SUBSTITUTE formula again and wrap it around the existing SUBSTITUTE formula: = SUBSTITUTE ( SUBSTITUTE ( B3, CHAR ( 10 ), ' ' ), ' ', ' ' ).
