Chart Formatting Shortcuts in Excel 2016

[Mountain_Monkey]

In previous versions of Excel I was able to tab into the chart formatting menu that popped up and use the alt keys to jump to the functions with underlined letters. Now when the menu pops up along the side of excel I haven't figured out how to tab into it or use those same shortcuts.

Is there any way to do this? Or is there a way to get the old pop-up menu back, also running into the same problem in PowerPoint.

No, but there is a workaround.
If you put the most used functions in your shortcut bar, then you can address them with the Alt-key (hold down the Alt to see the shortcut)
