Those that are Alt-* usually are those that will work at any time - that is,
without any menu dropped down.
The others, like the ones in question here, are only "menu shortcuts" (my term
- no clue what Gates & Co. call them) and you only need to press the underlined
key.
For example, look at the Tools menu and the CW Keyboard. The C is underlined
as a menu shortcut, and you are also shown the keyboard shortcut of Alt-K for
the same feature.
I'm no windows expert either, but this seems pretty clear to me.
I also find this same "standard" in many other programs that I have.
