Word

Picture this: you’re working on a big document and you’re making some adjustments just on page 17, but you forgot something you needed on page one. So, what do you do? You end up scrolling all the way back up to the first page. Once you find what you needed, you have to go all the way back down to page 17. Here’s a quick way to solve that conundrum. Simply hold down the Shift key and press F5. The cursor will automatically jump to the exact place where the cursor was before you moved it. Now, even better. You’re still on page 17 and you save and close the document. When you re-open it, the cursor will be at the very top of the first page. Press Shift+F5 again and you’ll immediately jump right back to where you were on page 17.

Here's what you do when you want to just snag a picture fast

drag & drop it to the desktop . Just left-click the picture, keep your mouse button down, then plop it onto your desktop. So easy. Of course, if your browser is maximized and you can't see your desktop this isn't going to work.

Select All

To select it all, use Ctrl + A. This keyboard shortcut will do the exact same thing. Just click once on the page you want to copy, press Ctrl and A at the same time and poof, it's done!

Internet Explorer

Use the End key. Hit it once and you'll be whisked away to the bottom of any Web page, any document, any file, etc. Also, if you're working with some shorter text, the End key sometimes takes you the end of a line, which is also helpful and a much faster way of doing things.

Filter Keys

To change the way Windows handles any repeated keystrokes on your keyboard, you'll need to use the FilterKeys feature. To get there, go to Start, Control Panel and click on the Accessibility Options link. Click Accessibility Options again and then go under the Keyboard tab. In the middle, you will see the FilterKeys area. Checkmark the box that says "Use FilterKeys" to activate it. You can then click on the Settings button to add your own preferences to it.

Want to send an entire webpage as an e-mail attachment?

If you use Ms Outlook, first, enable HTML mail: Select Tools, Options, Mail Format, choose HTML in the 'Compose in this message format' list, and click OK. Then, Browse to the page in Internet Explorer and select File, Send, Page by E-mail.

MS Word

The Work menu in MsWord is a menu that stores links to documents that you choose. It can be used to store links to whatever files you choose, regardless of how long it's been since you've actually used the file.
