Outlook Notes help needed

[Hank]

When an Outlook Note is open (so that you're seeing the little Post-it
like message), is there a way to save and close the note from the
keyboard, rather than having to reach for the mouse and click on the
"X" in the upper right corner?

Similarly, is there a way to open the "Categories" dialogue without
mousing to the upper left icon and clicking on it (and then
Categories...)?

Thanks!

Hank

Thank you, Vince. Does anyone know of a keyboard way to access the
upper left icon (ultimately I want to choose a category for the note)?

Hit & release the Alt key while the note is the active window then hit the
down arrow to display the menu you want.

That doesn't work, Vince. I'm using Outlook 2003, if that means
anything.

I worked it out:

hit f10, then alt-spacebar
