Office Suites

I was reviewing an old issue of the "Office Tip Sheet" and came across quick tips. So, I decided to pass them on.

1. Double-click any indent marker in the Word ruler, and Word will open the Paragraph dialog box.

2. Double-click on either ruler to open the Page Setup dialog.

3. Double-click the Page number or Sec number labels in the status bar, you'll get the Go To dialog box. You can also get to either the Find or the Replace function this way.

4. Need a SUPER EASY way to create tables in Word? Want a table with three columns? Just type -+ and press Enter. Word will then create a table with one row and three columns. If you need another row, type ---+ on the next line, and press Enter. Word will append another row to your original table. Do you want wider columns? Just add more dashes (-).

I followed with another keyboard tip from the current "Office Tip Sheet" This tip makes it easy to sum a row of numbers you just entered into an Excel spreadsheet. Just hold down the Alt key while you type in an equal sign (=). Try it by entering 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 into cells A1 through A5. Tab to cell A6 and press Alt+=. This enters the Sum formula. Finally, press Enter, and Excel takes care of the sum for you. This works for a column of numbers as well.

Past issues of the OTS are no longer available on the MyDocsOnline web site. It seems this site is no longer offering free storage. Free anything is getting more difficult to find on the Internet. Hopefully, I will get past issues back on the web by next month.
