Chances are, you either use Microsoft Word now, or may have to use it in the future. It is easily the most popular word processor for Windows, so learning the following Microsoft Word tips could help to improve your productivity and speed up your work, according to onlinetechtips.com.

Paste without formatting

If you need to copy something from elsewhere but don’t want the font to change from what you are currently using in your Word document, copy it like usual, but then press Ctrl+Shift+V. Doing this will ensure that the contents get pasted but any formatting, such as text colour, size, and font, will not be included.

Clear formatting

If you want to clear the formatting of a specific part of your document, simply highlight that area and click the Clear Formatting icon. The icon will look like a small eraser next to the letter A.

If you would like to clear the formatting on everything in your document, press Ctrl+A to highlight everything in the document and then click the clear formatting icon.

Highlight an area of text quickly

Have you just finished a lengthy document and just noticed you made a small mistake for a word, for example, writing land mark, instead of landmark? You can fix this within a few seconds by using find and replace.

First, press Ctrl+F and the find and replace tool will open. Next, click on Replace, then type in the word or phrase you want to replace.

After, type the contents you’d like it to be replaced by.

Quickly copy and create lists

Let’s say you need to go through a document and pick out certain words/phrases and create a list from them.

Instead of going back and forth, writing each item onto the list each time you see a word, you can simply highlight each word and press CTRL+ F3. You can do this multiple times until you have found each word/phrase.

Once you are finished, go to the area in the document you’d like the list to be created and press Ctrl + SHIFT + F3 to paste all of the highlighted areas you have just copied. This feature is known as Spike in Word.
