Keyboard Shortcuts in Microsoft Office
Hey everybody,
This week, we have some great hidden features in Microsoft Office programs.These are things that are neat, will save you a lot of time, and that most people don’t know about.
Zooming in and out of a document
You can use the scroll button on your mouse to zoom in and out of documents quickly. Just hold down the Ctrl key on the keyboard and roll the scroll wheel on the mouse forward to get a closer view of the document, or roll it back to shrink it.
Line Breaks Without Bullets
When you’re creating a bulleted or numbered list in Word or PowerPoint, you might want an item to appear on the list without a bullet. You can start a new line without a bullet by pressing Shift-Enter. The next time you press the Enter key, the new line will continue the bulleted or numbered list. Another useful trick: In Excel, you can press Alt-Enter to start a new line within a cell.
The Paste Special Command
When you copy text from the Web or another document into a Word file, Word will reproduce the typeface, color, and font size displayed in the original page. If you want the pasted text to match the formatting in the destination document, click the arrow under Paste in the upper left hand corner of the window, and choose Paste Special.
Moving Paragraphs
Do you need to swap the second and third paragraphs in the document you’re working on? Don’t waste time dragging text around within your document using the mouse or using Copy and Paste. Just click on the paragraph you’d like to move, hold down Shift and Alt, and move the paragraph up or down using the arrow keys. Each press of the arrow key causes the selected paragraph to jump over one adjacent paragraph.
Drawing a Line
You can create a line across the page of your Word or Outlook document with just a few keystrokes. Type three consecutive hyphens and press Enter to get a normal line. Type three underscores and Enter, and you’ll get a bold line. And if you type three equal signs and press Enter, you’ll get a double line.
That’s all for now.Until next week,
The elite Program
