Tip 1:
Using the AutoText shortcut in
Word documents
If you repeatedly enter the
same text or graphic in documents, save yourself time by creating
AutoText entries for paragraphs, signature text, graphics,
lines, tables and more.
Creating the AutoText Entry
- Display the AutoText toolbar.
- Select the text (or graphic) you want store as an AutoText
entry.
- Click the AutoText toolbar button.
- In the dialog box that appears, type a short name for
the selected text. Example: yt for the signature Yours truly,
etc.
- Click Add.
- Click Ok.
Using the AutoText Entry
- Click in the document where you want the text to appear.
- Type the short name you titled the entry.
(Ex. yt)
- Press the F3 key. (The correct text appears in your document.)
Tip
2:
Using Alt to select a single tabbed column
Did you ever wish you could highlight a single column of text
when the columns are separated by tabs? Well you can if you
use the Alt key. Here’s how you do it.
- Hold down the Alt key while dragging down through the
column. Be sure to hold down the Alt key before you start
dragging.
Note: This is a great
feature to use when you copy and paste text from a web page
but have to remove a column of unwanted characters. For Mac
users, use the Option key.
