6 MICROSOFT WORD SHORTCUTS YOU PROBABLY DON’T KNOW

Microsoft Word: Love it or hate it, practically everyone uses it. I've been using it so long, I
thought I knew everything about it. But I stumbled
across some super helpful shortcuts-hidden tricks
and timesavers that make Microsoft Word easier
and faster. One caveat for these tips: different
versions of Word may have different commands, so some of these may not work in your version. That
said, here are my top eight shortcuts: 1. Double Click And Drag :- like most people, when you want to move a section of text from one place to
another, you use Control X to cut and Control V to
paste. That's fine, It works. But there's a faster way:
Just Highlight the Text or Image you want to move,
then simply drag what you've highlighted to where
you want it to land. 2. Double Underline You know you can affect text by hitting Control-B to make it bold or Control-U to
underline. But if one line of underlining just isn't
emphatic enough, Control-Shift-D will double
underline it and make it look like a Note, Guess you
remember those days when we do copy note with a
double underline under the Heading. (On a Mac, use Command-Shift-D.) If that doesn't make your point,
you may have to go to ALL CAPS, and I've got a
shortcut for that too… 3. Change Case Instead of retyping everything to change from lower case to UPPERCASE, just
highlight the text you want to change, click the case
button, and then choose which case you want. 4. Adding Buttons to Your Toolbar Suppose you just tried using shortcut #3, but the case button isn't
on your toolbar, no worries; you can add it (and
almost any other command). Go to View, Toolbars,
Customize Toolbars, Commands, then scroll to find
the command you want — and drag it to where on
the toolbar you want it. 5. Add the Date How many times a day do you type the date? If you do it even once, that's too much.
Next time, just hit Alt-Shift-D (or Control-Shift -D on
a Mac) to add the date automatically. 6. Quick Parts: This next tip builds on what the Autotext function did in older versions of Word: If
you have a certain paragraph of text you regularly
need to add to a document — like a boilerplate
disclaimer, or maybe directions to your office — turn
it into a Quick Part. Here's how: Quick Parts 1. Highlight the text you regularly use
2. Click the insert tab
3. Hit Quick Parts, and choose "Save Selection To
The Quick Part Gallery" Now any time you want to
insert that chunk of text into a document, either a
new one or and old one you're editing, just hit that Quick Parts button. Just one more click will select
which saved Quick Part to insert. This trick will even
work as a shortcut for adding a logo or letterhead
