I usually groan when I have to use Word. I find it too rich in features for what I need for writing and it is usually the default program in most offices. I struggle to use it as I get into all sorts of mess trying to do simple things like List numbering and a big scary thing for me is trying to auto number sections, a real dread. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even for the simple things like inserting an image it has so many extra fiddly things as per word wrap etc and all the other issues around it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For basically getting items, such as pictures, I have to go to ribbon and hunt around for the icon to then insert the image that I want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wondered about setting Keyboard Shortcuts for some of the items that I’m using as I’m trying to get a lot of information in a word document for an eBook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go into FILE>OPTIONS>Customize Ribbon and you’ll see the Keyboard Shortcuts button at the bottom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve made a couple up , Alt+R for Pictures, for loading images, Alt+H for Hyperlinks for linking for AutoHotKey Document information on commands & Alt+T for Text Box for box for code. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are simple little things but make it a lot easier to use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I suppose, on reflection, that I would normally only do a short document in Word so as it is not a major tool I wouldn’t bother creating Keyboard Shortcuts as I wasn’t using it that frequently, but for a major task like this they come in handy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I’ve a method to do the simple things I want I may consider using the program more frequently and learning about more features in it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
