Uncommon Microsoft Word Shortcuts
(I use word on my PC, so these commands might be slightly different on a mac/IOS/other!)
CTRL + 1
CTRL+E to change alignment from Left to Middle (Then CTRL+E again to move back, or use CTRL+L)
CTRL+A to select all text in a doc (I use this constantly!)
CTRL+I/U/B to italicize, underline, bold.
CTRL+N to create a new, blank doc
CTRL+F to find a word or phrase in your doc
CTRL+W to close the document (and CTRL+O to open an existing one)
CTRL+Y to repeat the last action (this one I find hard to get it to do what I want tbh)
CTRL+T to create a hanging indent (soo helpful for school citations)
CTRL + Shift
CTRL+Shift+>/< to change font size up and down
CTRL+Shift+F to change font and style
CTRL+Shift+E to start and stop tracking changes (great for editing!)
CTRL+Shift+Arrow Keys to select either the next or previous word
CTRL+Shift+N to turn to normal formatting
CTRL+Shift+W to underline words but not the spaces
CTRL + Other
CTRL+Return to create a page break (this is incredibly useful if you ever run into the problem of changing something earlier in the draft that then misaligns all your subsequent chapters. Using page breaks instead of repeatedly hitting enter prevents this)
Alt+CTRL+Space to read your selection or everything past your cursor out loud (check out my post Read It Out Loud!)
CTRL+Backspace to delete the last word
CTRL+Alt+M to insert a comment
Other Commands
F7 Opens spellcheck
Shift+Arrow keys to select the next or previous letter
Let me know if I missed any you find useful or use regularly!

I didn't forget!
No, really! 😅
"Big reveal" number 63 is on its way! Just got a few more details to work out, so we'll extend the deadline to a couple days from now. Thankfully, I do have one more meme to share:

Here you go. Thanks for taking part in the poll, everyone.
(Look, I never said the "artistic depiction" was going to be any good now, did I?)

This was something I had written down from a long while back, November 2022 specifically. I've posted and shared it around nearly on every social I've used and I believe it is always worth sharing here. You can never know what someone may be going through. If anyone out there is not doing well, can be anything, I hope this post would be what you need to hear.

Heartwarming! This girl who was neutral on the Microsoft Corporation, and actually enjoyed many of their products throughout her childhood got a job working with them. Two years later, she hates the company, and longs to see them go bankrupt!
