Keyboard shortcut of the week: Sub and super
2008-04-13 17:06:00 Occasionally we have to make use of subscripts or superscripts in our documents. The most common use of these is with dates, as in 20th. There the 'th' is a superscript; that is, smaller text that is raised. Subscripts are most often used in technical language such as if we refer to water as H2O. There the subscript is the '2'; smaller text that is lowered.To switch to subscript mode or to change the selected text to a subscript, hold down the Control key and press the = key. This same combination will also set selected subscript text back to normal and switch out of subscript mode, as with the keyboard shortcuts for bold or italic mode.To switch to superscript mode or to change the selected text to a superscript, hold down the Control key and the Shift key, and then press the = key. As with subscripts the same combination switches back to normal text to if presses again.This tip applies to Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, but unfortunately not to Excel.

Keyboard shortcut of the week: The Case of MS Word
2008-03-31 17:24:00 When using a word processor it is quite common to forget that that the CapsLock key has been left on, or you might decide that a piece of text looks better in capital letters (also known as upper case: small letters are known as lower case).Thankfully MS Word has a keyboard shortcut that lets you cycle between different cases and formats. All you need to do is highlight a piece of text, hold down the Shift key and press F3.Each time you press F3 the case of the letters will change (don't release the Shift key!). So, 'testing' will be replaced with 'Testing' on the first press, and 'TESTING' if you press it a second time. Press F3 again and the text will return to 'testing'.If you type 'tESTING' by mistake, you can change it to 'testing', then 'Testing', and 'TESTING'; however, it will not return to 'tESTING', probably because it is highly unlikely you'd ever want text to be in that format.[Addendum]As one commentator has pointed out, a particular word does not ne...

Keyboard shortcut of the week: email name look-up
2008-03-18 16:50:00 When using MS Outlook, Outlook Express and Outlook Web Access on Internet Explorer you can quickly look up names in your contacts and address books with a keyboard shortcut.Let us assume you are looking for a 'Thomas Jones', you can type 'tho jo' in the 'To..' field of a new email and hold down the Alt key and press K. Your email program will then either put the right address into the 'To..' field or it will present you with a list of matches, for example, there may be a 'Thomas Johnson' in your address book too, in which case both will be listed. Highlight the one you want in the list and click 'OK'.As I mentioned, this shortcut works on Outlook Web Access if you access it using Internet Explorer. In order to see the list of matching names you may have to disable pop-ups for that site. To do so click on the yellow bar at the top of the new email page if it appears and set IE to always allow pop-ups from that page.If you open Outlook Web Access using Firefox or another ...

Keyboard shortcut of the week: undo and redo
2008-03-07 13:34:00 Just about every windows application has an 'undo' feature and most have a 'redo' feature. These are a lifesaver on those frequent occasions that we make a mistake in what we are doing, and in the case of 'redo', when we realise that we were right the first time.The undo/redo feature will either be available as toolbar buttons (as shown) or from the 'Edit' menu. Alternatively there are, unsurprisingly, a couple of keyboard shortcuts for them. To undo the last thing you did hold down the Ctrl key and press Z; to redo the last thing you undid, hold down the Ctrl key and press Y.

Keyboard shortcut of the week: don`t bin it, delete it
2008-01-30 15:44:00 Whenever you delete a file it will be sent to the Recycle Bin so that it can be restored if you change you mind (unless the file is too large for the recycle bin).Sometimes, however, you may want to bypass the Recycle Bin and delete a file completely(ish), to do this highlight the files you wish to delete, hold down the Shift key and press Delete. As with a normal deletion you will be asked to confirm the action.These files can still be restored by using appropriate software, as I have explained in a previous post, unless the drive they were deleted from is defragmented - even then it may be possible to restore the files, although this requires sophisticated techniques beyond the reach of most users.

Keyboard shortcut of the week: So what is this key anyway?
2008-01-13 00:30:00 The 'Application' KeyMost Windows compliant keyboards have a rarely used key between the Windows Key and the Ctrl key to the right of the space bar. This key can be used to bring up what is called a context menu for whatever is selected at the time. Context menu is the name for the menu that pops up when you click the right mouse button.For example if you press the key when you have Word open, you will see the following.Or if you have a drive icon selected in My Computer, you will see something similar to this (although, your menu items may differ from mine):If you ever have problems with your mouse not working, but you still need to use your PC, this key can be very useful. In a future post I will give instructions on reinstalling faulty mouse software using only the keyboard.

Keyboard shortcut of the week: save and backup regularly
2007-12-31 01:36:00 Your PC can crash at any time. Not a comforting thought I know, but one that should prompt us all to save our work as often as possible. So, for this end of the year post I will extol the virtues of saving regularly, and by extension, of backing up your files.Firstly let's deal with saving your files regularly: to do so, simply hold down the Ctrl key and press S.If you wish to use a different filename each time you save, hold down the Alt key and press F then A. This will open up the 'Save as...' dialog box.Now the backing up your files. Since we are fast approaching a new year, now would be a good time to back up all your essential files. There are a myriad of ways of doing this such as using USB flash drives to backup your current projects, or using a DVD writer to back up many of your files in one go.Another option is to set up a webmail account with lots of storage capacity as offered by the likes of Yahoo! and Google to which you can email the files you are working on.

Keyboard shortcut of the week: control your selections
2007-12-08 22:48:00 If you ever have to select more than one item at a time in a Windows program then you can use the control key, generally marked Ctrl. I find this technique particularly useful for dealing with my emails. I can hold down Ctrl and click on each spam email in turn, then take my finger off Ctrl and hit the Delete key so get rid of them all.Using Ctrl to select multiple items also works well in Window Explorer - the software you use to browse files and programs within Windows. To try it out open up your My Documents folder, hold down the Ctrl key, and left-click on a few items with the mouse. Each item should be selected as you click on it. When you release the Ctrl key you are free to drag and drop all the files, or right-click on any one of them to apply a process - such as delete, cut or copy - to them. A much quicker way of performing a task on many files than doing each one separately.You can also use the Ctrl key and 'lasso' items in Explorer. To 'lasso' items hold down the lef...

Keyboard shortcut of the week: born to run
2007-11-20 14:20:00 You may have noticed that the Start menu has an item called 'Run'. The Run facility is a bit of a throw-back to the days of DOS, when we had to type commands to run programs rather than double click on icons. Nevertheless, it is still a useful tool in the Windows environment.You can open the Run box by clicking on 'Run' in the Start menu, or you can use the keyboard shortcut: hold down a Windows key and press R. The Windows keys have this symbol on, and are generally located near the Alt keys.Once you have opened up the Run box, simply type in a command and hit return. To get you started here is a list of commands and the programs that they open.calc - calculatornotepad - unsurprisingly this opens the notepad, which is a simple text editoriexplore - Internet Explorerfirefox - Firefoxwinword - Wordexcel - (I think you can guess)powerpnt - PowerPoint[For an exhaustive list of other commands see this article on FixMyXP.com]Another advantage of using the Run dialog is that you can q...

Keyboard shortcut of the week: what`s on the menu?
2007-11-02 12:40:00 You can open any menu using your keyboard. As you may have noticed, each menu title has one of its letters underlined. To open the menu, hold down the Alt key and press the key corresponding to the underlined letter.In the case of the above menu, Alt & F will open the 'File' menu, Alt & E will open the 'Edit' menu, and so on.Once the menu is open, you can use the cursor keys to navigate: up and down will move the focus up and down the list of menu items; the right and left cursor keys will select the next menu to the right or left (except when you have a sub-menu entry focused - more details below). To select a menu item press the Return key.You will notice that some of the menu entries have letters underlined too. These can be quickly selected by opening the menu and then pressing the key for the underlined letter. For example if you press Alt & E the 'Edit' menu will open, if you then press A then the application will 'Select All' - of course you could just hol...

Keyboard shortcut of the week: screen capture
2007-10-23 16:48:00 If you wish to capture what you have on your screen as an image you can do so by pressing the Print Screen key (sometimes abbreviated to Prt Scr or similar) - on most keyboards this key will be found next to the F12 key, above the Insert key.This will put an image of the screen into the 'Clipboard', which is the name for the "holding area" where windows keeps things that you have copied. You can then paste this image into any program that accepts pasted images, such as image editors or word processors.Windows includes an image editor, called Paint, which is found in the 'Accessories' folder on the Start Menu program list. This application enables you to edit the screen image, should you wish to copy a section of it, or change its size, and save it as an image file.Most word processors also include a few limited image manipulation features. In MS Word there is a toolbar that includes image manipulation tools, such as brightness and contrast adjustment, and a tool to crop the imag...

Keyboard shortcut of the week: the great escape
2007-10-18 19:08:00 The escape key (marked 'Esc' on most keyboards) has a number of functions, but probably it's most useful function is for closing dialog boxes (those small windows that open within a program, such as the 'Save as...' box) where it is the equivalent of pressing the 'Cancel' button or the close button in the top right hand corner - the equivalent of pressing the 'OK' button is the return key.Pressing the escape key also close menus, including the start menu, which can be opened using the windows key (the one with the Windows logo on).

Looking for a Keyboard shortcut to mute PC speaker volume?
2007-10-18 08:20:00 Do you want to mute the volume or silence the PC speakers with a keyboard shortcut? This will help if you rely on PC speakers to listen to music. And, this would be really handy, if suddenly your boss barges into your office room without any notice. Unfortunately, you can not set such a nice keyboard shortcut with Windows (if you know, let me hear it) So, here is a work around. Download and install Sound Control a small freeware. Start Sound Control. Right-click on the Sound Control icon on your taskbar and choose "Options". Look under the tab "Mixer and Hot Keys". You should see an option to set a shortcut to Mute. I have set a Win + X (windows key + X) (I found it easy for me) for Mute. You can set a different combination with Ctrl , Alt or Win keys. Test the Shortcut key. If you press the same shortcut, Mute will release and you will hear the sound. You can set a shortcut to reduce or increase the volume. Try 8 Great American Wines fo...
Keyboard shortcut of the week: search and find
2007-10-10 20:16:00 If you wish to bring up Windows' file search minimise all your windows and press F3. You can also search within a certain folder too: open that folder up in Windows Explorer (the name for the program that opens when you double click on 'My Documents', 'My Computer', etc) and - you guessed it - press F3.Pressing F3 opens search dialogs in many other programs as well: in Internet Explorer it opens (and closes) the vertical search bar; in MS Outlook it opens up the 'Advanced Find' dialog. Try pressing F3 when using applications that have some sort of search facility.In a similar vein, you can open up the find facility in many applications by holding down the Control ('Ctrl') key and pressing F. To explain the difference between search and find, consider that you will search for a web page and when you have opened it you can find text within it. In MS Word Ctrl + F opens the 'Find and Replace' dialog. As with F3, try it out in any program that has a find facility.Of course so...

2007-10-02 16:50:00 Just about every Windows application has a help file, or at least connects you to a webpage that provides help.

Often - as with the Microsoft Office products - these help files are searchable and sometimes even include tutorials.You can access the help file for any program (or indeed for Windows itself) by pressing the F1 key.So, before you seek the advice of a techie or search the web for help, hit F1.

Press the F5 key.If the web page still doesn't appear or does not look right you could try Ctrl + F5 (hold down the Ctrl key and press F5).

If you use Firefox you can empty the cache by following these instructions:In Firefox, go to the 'Tools' menu and select 'Options..'Click on the 'Advanced' iconClick on the 'Network' tabThere you will find a button labeled 'Clear now', pressing this will empty the cache.
