Making the Most of Everyday Tools
Many of the tools within Microsoft 365 – such as Outlook and Word – are key to our working day. However, there are always new techniques to discover that can streamline your processes and enhance the way you work. By exploring these tips, you can find ways to improve productivity and make day-to-day tasks even easier.
Tip of the Week
Each week, a new ‘Tip of the Week’ will be introduced, offering you the opportunity to further develop your skills and take full advantage of all that the Microsoft 365 suite has to offer. This regular feature is designed to support your ongoing learning and ensure you are always making the most of the available tools.
There are many keyboard shortcuts that can be used in Microsoft Word to improve time efficiency.
- Navigation shortcuts: Use Ctrl + Arrow Keys to move through your document word by word. For example, Ctrl + Right Arrow moves the cursor right one word at a time, while Ctrl + Left Arrow does the opposite.
- Delete whole words: Press Ctrl + Backspace to delete an entire word at once, speeding up your editing process.
- Quick formatting: Use Ctrl + Shift + N to apply the "Normal" style to your text, which is great for cleaning up formatting.
