“Tip of the Week” – Day 1Moving table rows up or down:

Can be used when you are working in a table. For example you want the third row of a table to be the top row. Just click

within the third row, hold down [Alt][Shift] and press the up arrow key twice. Each time you press the arrow key, Word will

move the row up one. You can also select multiple rows to move them as a block,

and you can use the down arrow key if you want to move text down instead of up.

“Tip of the Week” – Day 2

Going back to the last editing location when you open a new document:

Word's short-term memory always wants to start you off at the beginning again. You can work around this if you press [Shift][F5], which acts as a Go Back shortcut, as soon as the document opens. This shortcut makes

Word jump to the last thing you changed before saving and closing that doc.

“Tip of the Week” – Day 3

Saving changes to all open documents at one time:This tricks work for people using multiple documents. All you have to do is to press the [Shift] key and pull

down the File menu. Word will add the Save All command to the menu, above the Save As command. Just choose Save All and Word will prompt you to save

each document (or template) that has any unsaved changes.

“Tip of the Week” – Day 4

Making a vertical text selection:We all know how to select text horizontally but

very few know that word can also select text vertically. To select text vertically, simply hold down [Alt] as you drag down through the text

you want to highlight. This trick works to highlight text anywhere on the page.

“Tip of the Week” – Day 5Duplicating selected text or objects using the mouse:

Using ordinary copy and paste is often a problem, as objects tend to paste themselves in strange locations depending on the layout

options of the original object. This trick helps you copying drawing objects and graphics and dragging them into your desired position in

one step. Just click on the item you want to copy (it can be a selection of text or

an object in a document) and hold down [Ctrl] so that the mouse pointer turns into a plus sign. Then drag the item--it will become a

copy of the item--to the spot where you want it to go.
