With the Microsoft Office suite being the most universally used office suite for business, having shortcuts to enhance your productivity is ideal. Use these PC Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint shortcuts in this infographic to help you cut down your production time.
Word
#1: Delete Word
Take a word like supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Imagine having to backspace each of those letters – tiresome, we know. Instead, simply click Ctrl + Backspace to delete the entire word in two keyboard clicks.
#2: Repeat Recent Action
Want to delete another long word and but don’t want to perform Ctrl + Backspace again? Just click F4.
#3: Spell Check
You’ve probably been opening spell check by Tools > Spell Check in the navigation bar. Instead, just click F7.
#4: Insert Date
Imagine how often you ask people, “What’s the date today?” Instead of, one, having to remember the date, and two, having to format it, click Ctrl + Shift + C and Word will insert it into your document.
