I\u00a0love keyboard shortcuts! My top three favourite keyboard\u00a0shortcuts that I use every single day and could not live without are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Ctrl + K<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Windows + S<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Windows + right arrow \/ left arrow<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I spent\u00a0the majority\u00a0of my\u00a0workday\u00a0toggling between Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Lync,\u00a0and Microsoft SharePoint – but the one program I never shut down – even after business hours are over –\u00a0is Microsoft OneNote. I like to work in OneNote with the Ribbon minimized to maximize the amount of the page that is visible. Because of that I’ve added a number of commands to my Quick Access Toolbar for easy access including the Clear All Formatting button.<\/p>\n

    \"clearformattingbutton\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    \"clearformattingQAT\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    The challenge is this: when I switch to Full Page View, and the Quick Access Toolbar is no longer visible, the Mini Toolbar (available via hovering or right clicking) does not contain\u00a0the\u00a0Clear Formatting option – see:<\/p>\n

    \"Rightclickmenuonenote\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    So there I was,\u00a0a\u00a0disgruntled\u00a0panda grumbling away\u00a0in my head for months\u00a0about how long it took me to perform this command…<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    …until I\u00a0finally stopped all the negative talk and got smart. In my moment of clarity, I remembered that when you hover your mouse over any command in\u00a0an Office\u00a0program, a pop up appears explaining what action the button performs AND gives you\u00a0the associated\u00a0keyboard shortcut:<\/p>\n

    \"clearformattingshortcut\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    \"ctrl-shift-N\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    Now my life is full of the happy click-clack of keys whipping through my work with ease.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n
