Some Great Tips for Microsoft Word Users

I just came across this post on Joe Friend’s blog where he shares some great tips for Microsoft Word users both amateur and professional. The post is very old, but I think these tips are some great ones. Taking a spin on some TV lingo, if you haven’t seen it, it’s new to you right?

Joe’s post shares information on the following items:

  • Copy just the formatting
  • Move from one spelling errors to another without using the dialog
  • Change the formatting of an entire list
  • Save a set of formatting as a style
  • Repeat an action
  • Move between objects by clicking
  • Scale the text in your document
  • Change the formatting of the standard paragraph
  • Show or hide the gridlines for tables
  • Templates are a convenient way to store the starting point for a document

A few of these tips and tricks I’ve been familiar with for awhile, but some of them are new and really do help speed-up your use and effectiveness with the Microsoft Word application.

We’ve all had quite a bit of time to become more familiar and comfortable with the new ribbon interface in Microsoft Office applications. What do you think now? Has your opinion changed at all?
