To move to the list of ribbon tabs, press Alt; to go directly to a tab, press a keyboard shortcut.
To move between commands, press the Tab key or Shift+Tab. You move forward or backward through the commands in order. You can also press the arrow keys.
Controls are activated in different ways, depending upon the type of control:
If the selected command is a button, to activate it, press Spacebar or Enter.
If the selected command is a split button (that is, a button that opens a menu of additional options), to activate it, press Alt+Down Arrow. Tab through the options. To select the current option, press Spacebar or Enter.
 If the selected command is a list (such as the Font list), to open the list, press the Down Arrow key. Then, to move between items, press the arrow keys. When the item you want is selected, press Enter.
If the selected command is a gallery, to select the command, press the Spacebar or Enter. Then, tab through the items.
Note: The cursor must be between words to do this.
1. To select the object you want, press Tab or Shift+Tab
2. To open the shortcut menu, press Shift+F10
3. To select Worksheet Object, press the Down Arrow key until it's selected
4. To select Edit, press the Right Arrow key and then press Enter
Note: The name of the command in the shortcut menu depends on the type of embedded or linked object. For example, an embedded Microsoft Office Excel worksheet has the command Worksheet Object, whereas an embedded Microsoft Office Visio Drawing has the command Visio Object.
