Question

Which shortcut can be used to create a new workbook in Excel?

• A. Ctrl + O
• B. Ctrl + S
• C. Ctrl + N
• D. Ctrl + W

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Ctrl + N

• The Ctrl + N shortcut is a convention across many applications, not just Microsoft Office. It's a standardized command for initiating a 'New' document or file.

• Prior to using shortcuts, users would typically navigate through menus. For a new workbook, this involved clicking the File tab and then selecting New, followed by Blank workbook. The keyboard shortcut significantly speeds up this process.
