Space It Out Again MS Word

Ever find that you need a little extra space between two paragraphs in an MS Word document?

Thinking maybe a quick way to add a 12 point space before a paragraph would be a nice little trick to have up your sleeve?

Well, to insert that extra space before a paragraph, all you have to do is simply place the cursor anywhere in the paragraph and use the Ctrl + 0 (zero) key combination.

Need the space above several paragraphs?

No problem! Just highlight all the paragraphs to be affected and again, use Ctrl + 0.

Spaces too big? Need to remove them?

Again, a very simple solution. Ctrl + 0 works as a toggle switch: once to add a space, twice to remove the space.

So, just highlight the paragraph(s) affected and use the Ctrl + 0 combination to remove the extra space.

There you have it. Extra spacing with just a quick key combination!

A Quick Reversal to Words AutoCorrect MS Word

If youre using a new version of MS Word, youve probably noticed some strange things happening on the screen as youre working.

For example, have you ever noticed the little blue box that appears below the items that were affected by an AutoCorrect change?

Its actually quite a handy little addition to MS Word.

When the AutoCorrect feature kicks in and makes a change, Word gives you an immediate fix to the "problem" if you dont agree with the change.

So, the next time a change occurs that you want to reverse (put back to the way you typed it), just put the mouse pointer over the changed item.

The blue box will then appear again. Move the mouse pointer down over the box.

The AutoCorrect symbol with a down arrow will appear.

Click on the down arrow.

A short list of choices will open, allowing you to undo the change, forbid the change from ever happening again (modifying the AutoCorrect feature from within the document) or last, but not least, it gives you the option to open the AutoCorrect window and make more changes to the rules.

Make your choice and instantly, the AutoCorrect changes can be reversed, with no long "battle" with the program to leave your document alone required!
