Handy MS Word shortcuts

I've had this floating around since 8/20/05, meaning to post it.


MS Word Shortcuts

Shift-F3 = change case (cycles thru the optoins)
Cntrl-“=” = subscript
Cntrl-“+” = superscript [supposedly cntrl-shift-“+”]

Cntrl-t = hanging indent
Cntrl-e = center
Cntrl-1 = SS
Cntrl-2 = DS
Cntrl-5 = 1.5 spacing

Shift-F4 = repeat “find”

Cntrl-shift-“*” = show nonprinting characters (e.g. printing, spaces)
Shift-F1 = review text formatting

Cntrl-F4 = close document

VIM Shortcuts, less features, simpler to implement though ;-)

:%s/[a-z]/\U&/g = change case upper
:%s/[A-Z]/\L&/g = change case lower
N/A = subscript
N/A = superscript
No simple method that I've ever found = hanging indent
Manually spacing = center
:%s/\n\n*/\r/g = SS
:%s/\n/\r\r/g = DS
N/A = 1.5 spacing
// = repeat “find”
N/A = show nonprinting characters (e.g. printing, spaces)
N/A = review text formatting

:q = close document

For the readers: VIM is a text editor (e.g. notepad, wordpad for the Microsoft crowd). Tons of other options exist, e.g. Emacs. But Dave apparently uses VIM. :)
