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.

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.

Formatting

Ever feel overwhelmed by all the formatting you've applied to your MS Word document? Want to strip the text of all the special formatting and start completely over so you can create consistent formatting throughout the document? Here's how to start afresh this New Year: First, open the Task Pane to Styles and Formatting if it's not already displayed. (Format menu, Styles and Formatting choice). Now, select the entire document (Ctrl + A). With the text selected, choose Clear Formatting from the Task Pane.

Calculator

Did you know that you could paste equations and math symbols in the Windows 95 calculator? If you paste 5*4*3*2*1= into your calculator, it will give you the result - 5 factorial, or 120. This may be useful if you need to document your written math formulas in a Notepad or Word document - you only have to type in your formulas once.

When a change occurs that you want to reverse (put back to the way you typed it) in MS Word as a result of the AutoCorrect feature, just put the mouse pointer over the changed item. A blue box will then appear again. Move the mouse pointer down over the box. The AutoCorrect symbol with a down arrow will appear. Click on the down arrow. Make your choice from the shortlist and the AutoCorrect changes can be reversed.
