If you use Microsoft Word often, there are a number of
simple shortcuts that will make using the program easier and will make you feel
more efficient as well. These shortcuts work in most word processing programs,
so check them out if you use Word, Works, Word Perfect, or any other word
processor.
CTRL +I - to
italicize the word or phrase
CTRL +B - to bold the word or phrase
CTRL +U - to underline the word or phrase
Ctrl+Home will
take you to the beginning of the document.
Ctrl+ End will
take you to the end of the document.
You can place
your cursor on any word and double-click to highlight that word.
You can place
your cursor anywhere in a paragraph and triple-click to highlight that paragraph.
To open a document you worked on recently you don't have to
find it again, instead, just click File, choose Open, then choose your
document from the recent document list. In most versions of Word, that list
will be at the bottom of the window. In Word 2007, you will click on the round
Office icon in the upper left of the toolbar,and the most recent document list will be on the right side of the windows that pops up when you choose Open.
