Tech Advice: Two Timesaving Tips

Auto Text and QuickWords can be Used to Speed Document Assembly.
Use AutoText in MS Word and QuickWords in WordPerfect to enter larger amounts of text into documents by typing just a few characters. This is a similar feature to AutoCorrect and QuickCorrect for use with more complex text. You can create entries like "LWT/" and have it expand into your form for a completed last will and testament document. These features even pull in the specific formatting of text (like a case style). I like to use a character like "/" at the end of all of these terms. That way if we hired a new secretary with the initials LWT, we wouldn't accidentally run the feature by typing her initials.
Quickly Changing Text Case in MS Word
You can use your keyboard to quickly change the case of text in Microsoft Word.
Slect the text you want to change and press "SHIFT+F3." Each time you press the "SHIFT+F3" keys, the text case changes and you can switch between UPPERCASE, lowercase and Initials Capitals (aka Title Case).
When keystrokes are mentioned with a plus sign (e.g. Alt + Tab) it means that both keys should be pressed simultaneously.
When actions are separated by a dash (e.g. Click File - Print ) it means that they should be done in sequence.
