How do I "Right click" with only a keyboard?
I know how to right click>properties with a keyboard, (alt+enter) but how to right click by itself?

If you have a 'Windows' keyboard, you can press the button just to the left of the right control button. It has a menu with a mouse pointer selecting the menu. Of course, you would first have to have the icon/object selected first.
Google can be so helpful - dunno if office is in there some where

Here's a few more:

My old Windows 95 had a whole back page of keystroke combinations:
F1 = Help
ALT + F4 = Quit Program
Shift + F10 = Right Click
Ctrl + Esc = Pop the Start Menu
ALT + TAB = Switch Active Window
Ctrl + X = Cut
Ctrl + C = Copy
Ctrl + V = Paste
DEL = Delete an item
Ctrl + Z = Undo last action
Hold Shift while inserting a CD to avoid Autoplay
When items are selected you can use these shortcuts:
F2 = Rename
F3 = Open up find
Shift + DEL = Immediate delete
ALT + Enter = Item properties
ALT + Double Click = Item properties
CTRL while dragging with mouse = Copy
CTRL + SHIFT while dragging with mouse = Create Shortcut
A few more:
F6 = To switch left and right panes
Double click corner icon on window to close it.
F5 = Refresh
Yeah I was kinda bored.
