1. Microsoft Word Control Keys

2. Back to Basics
Everyone remembers the original shortcut keys to copy cut and paste, but there are so many more. You can save your document in a flash, select a different font in two seconds flat, and insert the current date or time with time to spare. You can even double space your lines without pressing so much as three buttons. Some of the control keys are very easy to remember, but others just need to be memorized. If you would like, I have handouts of all the control keys for Microsoft Word.
