What is the F10 function key in Excel?

The F10 key in Excel activates the menus. It does the same as pressing the Alt key by itself. In older versions of Excel, up to Excel 2003, menus were used and the Alt or F10 key activated the menu bar. They both work in versions of Excel from 2007 onwards to activate key tips, so that you can use keyboard combinations for certain activities that would have been on the menus on older versions. You can also use F10 with other keys. SHIFT+F10 displays the shortcut menu for a selected item. ALT+SHIFT+F10 displays the menu or message for an Error Checking button. CTRL+F10 maximizes or restores the selected workbook window.
