MS Word Tip of the Day

In MS Word, if I am reviewing a document, clicking the "Accept" or "Reject" button over and over slows me down. So, I assigned an easy keyboard shortcut to jump through this very quickly.

2. Select "Review Tab".
3. Assign "AcceptChangesOrAdvance" to "Ctrl+"
4. Assign "RejectChangesOrAdvance" to Ctrl-

Contractors...



Me: Wow, the tile looks great.

Contractor: Thanks.

Me: What's that valve sticking out in the middle of the wall?"
Contractor: That's the water cut off.

Me: I know that... Why is it in the middle of the wall?
Contractor: Because that's where the pipe is.

Me: Well, why is the pipe in the middle of the wall instead of behind the sink!?!
Contractor: Because that's where the plumber put it.

Me: Can we move it?
Contractor: Yep, we can rip out the whole bathroom and re-do it.

Me: Oy... never mind.
