However, if you have to do this a lot, there’s another, much easier, way - assign a keyboard shortcut to the ‘paste as unformatted text’ command.

I used Microsoft Word 2010 for Windows when writing this blog post - the same (or very similar) information should apply to later versions of Word for Windows. (See the links below for some of the blog posts I’ve written on all these.)īut how do you know what you’ve got available to use? Some of the more obscure in-built keyboard commands are difficult to find listed anywhere, and how do you remember which ones you’ve created for your own use? How can you get a list of these shortcuts, and a list of your AutoText and AutoCorrect entries? Of course, once you have a list you can then save it or print it out to refer to at any time.

Power users also use AutoText and AutoCorrect to speed up inserting commonly used text, tables, etc. Ctrl+s to save, Ctrl+c to copy etc.), or ones they’ve created themselves. Power users of Word use keyboard shortcuts extensively - either the in-built ones that come with Word (e.g.

Go to Insert > Symbol, select More Symbols, then from the Font list for (normal text), select the symbol (see the screenshot below), then click Insert.

If you really want to type (E) and NOT have it change to a euro, then immediately press Ctrl+z to undo that last action (conversion).

Type (E) - as soon as you type the closing parenthesis, it converts to the euro symbol.

There are several ways you can add a euro symbol in Microsoft Word for Windows: Try it out! (I have no idea if there’s anything similar on a Mac) So, where is this magic key? On 104-key Windows keyboards it’s immediately left of the Ctrl key on the right. And if I knew about that right-click key at any point, I’d forgotten about it.

I guess I’ve never really noticed some of the newer keys on the keyboard over the years (I started with computers in the mid-80s, getting my first PC in 1994). I just tested the ‘right-click’ button on my keyboard on a misspelled word in Word and it does as he says! But more importantly, it’s not just for adding words to the dictionary-in fact, you can use it ANYWHERE and in ANY program where right-click options are available (including your browser, desktop etc.) and, depending on the context, you’ll get the relevant shortcut menu displayed, from which you can use the arrow keys to navigate to the function you want. In the category of ‘OMG-I didn’t know I could do that!!’ comes this tip from Allen Wyatt’s WordTips newsletter: where he describes several ways of using the keyboard instead of right-clicking with the mouse to add a word to the dictionary.
