A Few Favorite Windows Keyboard Shortcuts
- Need to fix something? CTRL + Z is Undo, but need to unfix what you just undid? CTRL + Y is Redo.
- Have too many windows open? Hold down the ALT key and press TAB. A small window will let you tab through your open windows and applications.
- Headline a little too big? CTRL + [ will shrink your font a size. CTRL + ] will grow it.
- CTRL + H will open the Find and Replace window. I use this all the time to take out the second space after the period between sentences, to change all the capitalizations of a title, etc.
- CTRL + Enter will insert a page break in Word, and SHIFT + Enter inserts a soft line break so you can, for example, add info under a bullet without adding another bullet.
- CTRL + N opens a new document. CTRL + O opens a document. CTRL + W closes a document.
