My customers love this in a date field.  Just fill the field with the 
current date (MM/DD/YY) then pushkey "[crgt][crgt][crgt]" to move them 
to the day where they can just change the day without typing the entire 
date.  In many situations, this can save keystrokes without causing any 
difficulties.  Just know what kind of data and the context for data 
entry and you can save time easily with this method.
