After learning a few of the shortcuts that you can use with the Microsoft Office products I can see many of the time saving benefits. Being a band director I play two roles, a teacher and a secretary. I create and use many forms and letters so these new shortcuts will be great to use. I took one of the forms that I created and made some alterations using the new shortcuts I have learned. Here is what I did:
As I was creating this it was hard to remember to use the shortcuts because I am so use to using the old way. I think it will take some time to retrain myself to use the new, more efficient way of creating and editing my documents. I was planning on going through all of my documents this summer to rework them and I am glad that I will be able to use these new shortcuts!
Amanda - yes, the 'old way' is the thing that is comfortable and almost automatic. I think you will find if you start using a few key time saving shortcuts, you will wonder what you ever did without them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your document and thoughts.

Hi Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI share in your joy for shortcuts. They make my life much more efficient, and I do not even utilize half of the ones I could. I have had to untrain and retrain myself to use them. It looks like you are on your way to getting into the habit.
