Time Saving Tech-nique

I am going to share my 2 favorite "Time Saving Tech-nique".

• Ctrl+Y  

This works in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint (and probably the rest). There have been times that I want to reformat a document and it can be very tiresome to repeat the same task over and over and over again. For example, wanting to bold portions of text, but not all. Bold one thing you want as you normally would. Then for the rest, highlight and then ctrl+y and it will repeat your actions on the newly highlighted text.

• Screen Clipping

                   Again, this works in Microsoft products. There are times when I portion of worksheets, pictures/diagrams, or snippets of webpages that I want in a PowerPoint or Word document. You could use the screen clipping tool that comes with the Windows OS or you could click insert --> screenshot --> screen clipping. It will minimize the Word window and show the front most page underneath for you to clip into your document.

Both of these have saved me time and I hope they will save you time as well.
