23. I know ALT + 130 is é – can anyone teach me how to do the capital E with the stress?

    • Hi,

      To get É you need to use Alt 0201, now if you have a laptop that doesn’t have a numeric keyboard, I would recommend to switch to the Spanish Keyboard and you can switch from the English keyboard to the Spanish one whenever you want. It{s helpful if you have to type long paragraphs that require the letters with stress for upper or lower cases, the ñ,Ñ,¨ for ü or Ü.

      Another way to get the stress symbols for the letters is by going to the “Insert” tab on Word, click on “Symbol”, then, “More symbols” and you are going to see a box of all the letters with specific symbol and the Shortcut at the botom, Alt+ …..

    • Another way to get special characters is to use the following combinations:

      Ctrl + ‘ then E gives É
      Ctrl + ~ then N give Ñ
      ctrl + : then u gives ü, etc…

24. I am currently going through a Software issue with Dell support, and a follow-up is for 20.6.2011 at about from 12-3pm my time. I now have shortcuts for WORD and OneNote 2010.
    I still need to find more information on solving problems in Microsoft Office, whenever needed.

    In Word 2003 I have now shut my door on. Microsoft Office Professional has all I need, to work with. As I have now fully gone over to 2010 its the only way to go, with a little help with your book. Tom.

25. F5 is auto refresh

26. F4 to repeat an action. This could be one of the most frequent used shortcuts for me. I have written my own choice of top 10 most useful microsoft word shortcuts, check it out on http://slashtasks.com/2011/01/22/top-10-microsoft-word-shorcut-keys-for-productivity-boost/

27. Please add Shift+F3 which cycles/toggles to change selected text from/to all caps, all lower case or initial caps. Works in earlier versions of Word, too. Very handy!

28. CTRL + F1 and you hide ribbon toolbar 🙂

    • ok
       

29. CTRL+SHIFT+F = Displays the Font dialog box.

    i guess CTRL+D its easier

30. k better

31. People, tell me please, how to zoom in text while I’m reading?

    • It’s usually some combination of CTRL + SHIFT + +/- (or mouse scroll)

    • If only it was as sensible as you suggest. The Office development team seem to have missed out on the last ten years of common shortcuts elsewhere (including IE, other browsers and most Adobe software) and don’t think it’s useful to zoom from the keyboard. Better to drop what you’re typing, reach for the mouse — if you don’t have a pen tablet, installed that is — and do some kludge with the mouse wheel. Daft.

32. short cut keys my computer

33. You should check your shortcuts? E.g., you say CTRL+E Navigate to the center Paragraph, but this shortcut was always used to center text and I don't think that MS is going to break compatibility with previous versions of Microsoft Word (take a look at http://www.officetooltips.com/word_2007/tips/ho…)

35. Interestingly, two shortcut keys for the Redo operation the one you mentioned, and the more common one being Ctrl+Y I wonder why they would do such a thing.

    • Stupid that the alternate for Ctrl+Y isn’t Ctrl+Shift+Z. Just. Plain. Stupid!
