Microsoft Word is the most important and necessary tool for any office work. And the number of functions that it possesses will shock any person. We've picked 20 tips to help you simplify your Word experience and automate some of your chores. you can check out similar material for Excel.
Insert date and time
You can quickly insert a date using the combination Shift keys+ Alt + D. The date will be inserted in the format DD.MM.YY. The same operation can be done over time using the Shift + Alt + T combination.
Fast case change
If you don't already know the blind typing method, then CAPS LOCK can play a cruel joke with you. By accidentally turning it on and not looking at the screen, you can type a mountain of text that will have to be deleted and rewritten from scratch because of one pressed button. But highlighting desired text and pressing Shift + F3 will change the case from uppercase to lowercase.
Cursor acceleration
Usually, if you move the cursor with the arrows, it moves one letter at a time. To speed up its movement, hold down the Ctrl key together with the arrow.
Highlight text fragments located in different places
Highly useful function, which allows you to highlight inconsistent pieces of text. Hold Ctrl and select the pieces of text you want.
Clipboard
If you use copy and paste (and you probably do), then most likely you know about the enhanced clipboard in Word. If not, then it is called by clicking on the button of the same name and shows everything that you copied to the clipboard during the work.
Quick screenshots
If you are doing a manual, a review of a service, or you just need to paste a screenshot into Word, this can be done very simply using the appropriate tool. Click on the "Snapshot" button and Word will show all active windows. By clicking on any of them, you will get a screenshot of this window.
Hyphenation
Enabling hyphenation can improve the readability of your text and also save you from long white space between words. You can arrange them yourself or entrust it to a computer. The button is located in the "Page Layout" - "Hyphenation" menu.
Watermark
You can add a watermark to your document for added protection. To do this, go to the "Design" menu and select the "Underlay" item. There are four standard templates in Word, and you can also create your own.
Repeat previous command
A very useful feature that allows you to duplicate the last command. If you press F4, then Word will repeat the last command you made. This can be entering text, sequentially deleting several lines, applying styles for different sections of text, and much more.
Stressing
Stressing in Word is as easy as shelling pears. To do this, place the cursor after the letter to be stressed, and hold down the combination Alt keys+ 769. Important: the numbers must be pressed on numeric keypad on right.
Customizing the Ribbon
The top ribbon with buttons can be customized very flexibly. To do this, go to the menu "File" - "Options" - "Customize the Ribbon". Here you can add functions that were not there before, and remove those that are not needed. Moreover, you can delete or create your own tabs with functions.
Quick selection of a large chunk of text
To quickly select a large piece of text, place the cursor at its beginning and click with the mouse while holding down Shift at the end of the fragment. Saves time and nerves in situations where you have to select several sheets at once.
Move quickly through the document
There are several combinations that greatly speed up document navigation:
- Ctrl + Alt + Page Down - next page;
- Ctrl + Alt + Page Up - previous page;
- Ctrl + Home - move to the top of the document;
- Ctrl + End - guess yourself. :)
Insert a new page
How I hate myself for not knowing this combination before. Ctrl + Enter allows you to instantly create new leaf, and do not hold Enter with one hand, and the other at this time to brew tea.
Changing the default save folder
By default, Word saves all files to the Documents folder. In order to change this, go to the menu "File" - "Options" - "Save". In the "Default Local File Location" line, select the folder you need. In the same menu, you can configure the default document format, autosave and much more.
Original formatting
To return the text to its original formatting, press the Ctrl + Spacebar key combination.
Word as a task manager
If you are a big fan of Microsoft and Word in particular, you can even use it as a task manager. However, first you have to try a little. Click on right click on the Feature Ribbon at the top and select Customize Ribbon. In the right column, enable the only disabled tab "Developer".
Go to the "Developer" tab that appears and find the "Checkbox" element, which has a checkmark (why not). Now, by clicking on the checkbox, you can create task lists and mark them as completed.
Vertical text selection
If you accidentally mess up your list, you can select the text vertically. To do this, hold Alt and use the mouse cursor to select.
Password Protecting Document
It’s not even worth mentioning why it’s necessary. In our age, when information has become the main weapon, to have additional protection never hurts. To protect a document with a password, go to the "File" tab and select the "Protect document" option. Now feel free to create a password, but remember that if you forget it, you will not be able to recover it.
The fastest way to open Word
Rounding out our list is an incredible hacking trick. If earlier, in order to open Word, you created new document or searched for it in the Start menu, it is now a thing of the past. Press combination Windows keys+ R and enter in the window that appears winword. If you are not using command line for other commands, the next time you press Windows + R, the command to start Word will automatically load and all you have to do is press Enter.

These are Apache OpenOffice and WPS Office packages. At the end of this tutorial, I'll show you how to download and install one of these packages.
Launching Microsoft Word
To start the Microsoft Word program, click the "Start" button, then "All Programs", "Microsoft Office", "Microsoft Word".
A blank page of a new document opens. Depending on the version of the package, there will be a difference in the interface, but the main points that we will consider will be present everywhere. I will tell on Microsoft example Office 10.
At the top we see a tabbed menu with many items. Simply describing them is of little use. Therefore, we will type text and get to know them in the process. For example, we want to type a statement. Some points will be artificial, but this is solely in order to show the capabilities of the package.
Fig. 1 To enlarge - left-click, return back - click again
First, let's choose a font. When we move the cursor over the icon on the menu ribbon and hold it, a hint about the purpose of the icon appears. The frame in Fig. 1, number 1, shows the area where the font is selected. Where is the number 2, click on the triangle, the font selection menu opens. Number 3 - font - "Times New Roman".

With the mouse, move from the upper left corner to the right, thereby choosing the number of columns, lower it down, select the number of rows, in our case 4. A table appears on the sheet. The number of selected rows is not critical, if we did not have enough of them, we can easily add it in the process of filling the table. Just standing in the lower right cell of the table, press the "Tab" key and we will add a new row.
When we created the table, all columns are the same width. In order to change the width of the column - move the cursor to the dividing line in Fig. 5, when it takes the form of two dashes with arrows to the right and left, press left button mouse and move the line in the right direction, bring it to the place we need and release the button.

We fill in the table. After filling, to exit the table, left-click under the table and continue writing.
Our application is ready. Let's check the spelling for errors. Click the tab
"Reviewing", "Spelling". If there is an error, the window in Fig. 9 opens, where the error is described,
a variant of its correction is proposed. On the right in the window, you can select the button "Change", "Skip", "Skip all", "Next". When the check is complete, the Spell Check Completed window appears.
If we need to print the typed document (it is assumed that we have a printer, and it is connected and configured), click on the "File", "Print" tab.
In Figure 11, number 3 shows the layout of what the page will look like. If we have typed several sheets, number 4 shows which sheet, we look and the arrows can be used to look at other sheets. Use the number 5 to select the number of copies to print. In order to send a document to the printer, press the button with the printer, figure 6 in the figure.

and no matter how long it takes to search for our document, click the "File" tab, select the "Recent" item, in the "Recent Documents" list we find the necessary one, click on it, and it opens.

As we can see, the interface is very similar to that of Microsoft Word. All those menu items and tabs with which we worked in Word are here. We can use free alternative Vorda.
We now have three new icons on our desktop in Figure 26.
WPS Writer is an analogue of Microsoft Word, WPS Presentation is an analogue of Microsoft PowerPoint, WPS Spreadsheets is an analogue of Microsoft Excel.
Since the programs are free, the advertisement window for the paid version (Fig. 27) opens upon launch.
The text highlighted in red (1) “You can skip ad in 5s” is translated as “You can skip the ad in 5 seconds” and the stopwatch is running. When the stopwatch has passed, Fig. 28,
