Alt+F, then V I’m the first to admit I don’t really care for the Ribbon design that Microsoft went with in 2007 and beyond, but we can still use our superior shortcuts rather than driving our mouse down scenic Route 66 to step on the button we need. To activate commands on the ribbon, use [...] Has anyone else dreamed of a cleaner interface in the Check-out/Check-in dialogs for PDM Workgroup? It seems like there are some obvious improvements that could be made and “improvements” is the nice way to say it. One thing I wish I could do from time to time is only check-out drawings of a particular project. [...]
CTRL+SHIFT+M Create a new email message quickly with these 3 keys in combination CTRL+SHIFT+C Same as above to create a new Contact CTRL+SHIFT+K And finally we create a new Task with this last of the series. Notice that these shortcuts are somewhat meaningful, ‘M’ for Message, ‘C’ for Contact and ‘K’ for tasK. Noticing and [...]
CTRL+ALT+A Rather than the standard Ctrl+E I talked about last week, this shortcut will search All Mail Items or Calendar or Contact depending on the section you’re in. Default search only searches the current folder, whereas this search shortcut will immediately search every folder. CTRL+SHIFT+P Create a new Search folder. These folders can be used to [...] 
I recently experienced a bug with Appearances (I know,the first one) in an assembly. I had 2 levels of assemblies and the problem showed up in the top level. There were assembly level Appearances applied to components in the sub-assembly. Everything was fine there, but when I went to the top-level assembly, those components did [...] There’s a little option in Options>Sketch that I think is quite helpful. When selected, you are able to enter values onscreen for the dimension(s) of the line, rectangle or circle that you are sketching. Depending on another option (I’ll get to that), you can either keep those dimensions or have them removed when the sketch [...]
I have taken a couple week break on our shortcuts. For those of you who rely on it like your morning coffee, please accept my apology. You might also want to consider another starter for your day, something with a smooth, bold flavor. This week our shortcuts are for Outlook. Try to control your excitement [...] I’m going to take a break from the usual Shortcut Saturday tips lest everyone become overwhelmed with all the fabulous but easily forgotten shortcuts. Instead, let’s take a quick look at a quick way to take a snapshot of your design and mark it up with notes so you can email it to your customer, [...]
Ctrl+` Be careful with these first two…you may be tempted to say they are the same, but they definitely are not. This one is Ctrl plus the key just below Escape. It shares space with the tilda (~). Using this shortcut will switch between showing cell formulas and the calculated values. I didn’t even know that [...]
Select Several Cells… Ctrl+Shift+& Three keys and you’ve got a border around the selected cells. And you got to employ the Ampersand. What could be more fun? Remember, this creates an outline around the selected cell(s) whether one or many. Ctrl+Shift+_ Not happy with the border you just did with your tricky little shortcut? Switch [...] |
