Applying styles to text in OneNote is now even easier using keyboard shortcuts. Instead of using your mouse to click three buttons, you can now perform one keyboard shortcut to get the same result.<\/p>\n

Bonus: <\/strong>Save yourself some time – simply place your cursor in the phrase you want to format (i.e. don’t waste time highlighting the phrase<\/em>) then use the following keyboard shortcuts to apply styles:<\/p>\n

CTRL + ALT\u00a0 + [Style #]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take a look at this example of\u00a0a page where I was doing some product research where I wanted to apply Style Header 1 to some text:<\/p>\n

\"ctrl-alt-1-vertical\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Before:<\/p>\n

\"onenote-style-H1-before\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After:<\/p>\n

\"onenote-style-H1-after\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I love that I don’t have to move my fingers away from the keyboard. I can format as I\u00a0type, which\u00a0saves me time in the long run. Some people groan when I mention keyboard shortcut. I get it. It’s a personal preference. If you’re devoted to your mouse then click away. But if you’d like to reduce the number of times you have to reach for the mouse in a given day, then keyboard shortcuts can be very helpful.<\/p>\n

Others who like shortcuts complain that there are too many shortcuts too remember. Fair enough. I am challenging myself to learn and integrate one new keyboard shortcut into my work habits\u00a0each month. It may seem daunting at first, but you’ll be surprised how many you pick up and remember – especially\u00a0if you are performing a specific type of action – such as formatting headings – multiple times a day.<\/p>\n

Your future self with thank you!<\/p>\n

Don’t believe me?<\/p>\n

Take a look at these screenshots to see how many clicks it takes with a mouse to reach the same result:<\/p>\n

Option #1 for formatting text:<\/p>\n

\"onenote-apply-style-option-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Option #2 for formatting text:<\/p>\n

\"onenote-apply-style-option-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There you\u00a0have it –\u00a0three clicks. When you’re working away from the office, say, on a laptop with no mouse, and you’re at the whim of the finicky touchpad, keyboard shortcuts make life so much sweeter.<\/p>\n

Here’s the shortcut again for those whose brains prefer to see them laid out\u00a0horizontally.<\/p>\n

Keyboard Shortcut to Apply Style Header 1:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"ctrl-alt-1-hortizontal\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What about all the other styles? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Just swap the number 1 key stroke for a different number – keyboard shortcuts available from heading styles 1 through 6.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What do the styles look like?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"OneNote-Heading-Styles\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And remember:<\/strong> you don’t have to go to Google to lookup shortcut. Simply\u00a0hover your cursor over the button for any function in OneNote and a popup will appear that tells you the shortcut.<\/p>\n
