I’m a great fan of shortcuts and have been using those for years.

For those who don’t have a scroll button mouse, Ctrl++ enlarges browser screen text and Ctrl+- reduces it.

Windows+r = Run dialog box
Windows+Pause/Break = System Properties dialog box
Windows+l (letter L) = locks screen or displays login screen
Windows+m = minimizes open window
Windows+Shift+m = redisplays open window just minimized
Ctrl+c = copy selected text to clipboard
Ctrl+v = paste selected text to clipboard
Ctrl+x = cuts selected text from its location to clipboard
Ctrl+z = Undo last action (works in most programs)
PrintScreen = copies entire screen to clipboard (which can then be pasted into a graphics program)
Alt+PrintScreen = copies current program window to clipboard

you know and what you actually know!

It just takes someone like Jim to come along and show
you, well they do say you learn something new everyday, so
I guess that’s my bit done for today!

Sally :)

I have to agree with the last comment, the last CAP tool only seems to work in MS programs such as office and project.

On the other hand, even as savvy as I am on the PC, I didn’t know about that one or the zoom. So, thanks for making this digital scrapbook business owners life a lot simpler with this one.

They were really cool, especially the “zoom” one and the all windows minimize. Thanks Jim! :-)

One of my favorite short cuts in Word is the F4 key. Execute an action – from changing font size and color to a 3-step change to table rows and formatting. Then just hit F4 and the same changes will be applied where you place your cursor. A huge time saver that you’ll find yourself using over and over!
