Windows 7 Shortcut Keys

Windows 7 shortcut keys can save lots of time. For a great list of what is possible, use the following links:

• Computer Productivity
• Microsoft

Some of my favorites include:

• WinKey + Left arrow = Fill left half screen w/current window
• WinKey + Right arrow = Fill right half screen w/current window 
• WinKey + Up arrow = Maximize
• WinKey + Down arrow = Minimize

MS Word: Paste as Text

To set up a shortcut key to paste as text, do the following:

1. From the View tab, create a new macro named PasteSpecialAsText.
2. Replace the contents of the code editor with the following text:
   

   Sub PasteSpecialAsText()
     Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText
End Sub

3. From the File menu, choose Word Options, then Customize Ribbon, and then click the Customize button next to Keyboard shortcuts at the bottom to bring up the Customize Keyboard dialog.
4. Choose Macros from the categories list on the left, and then your macro in the Commands box on the right-hand side. Now you can enter in a shortcut key (Ctrl+Shift+V or your own), and click the Assign button.
