I've been sitting at my desk for about a half hour now, trying to come up with tricks I use in Microsoft Office programs that you might not know about, however, I'm just going to have to be honest...I just know how to do what I need to get done. I have no clue what kinds of shortcuts there may be, or options you can manipulate, etc. I know how to type, and I know how to use spell check, and then how to print. That's all you really need, right? But, in order to feel like I've completed this assignment, I'll make a list of the few features I use, but am fairly confident every five year old in America knows!
*ctrl + p to print
*ctrl + c to copy text
*ctrl + v to paste text
*shift and then arrows to highlight text
*ctrl + arrows to jump cursor by word sections
I'm guessing that tonight in class I'm going to become informed on all kinds of quick little shortcuts that I can use to expedite and improve my Office abilities.
Believe it or not, most of my 6th graders don't even know those! If fact, my teacher doesn't either. It is odd that technology-adeptness is so broad in that some have much and some so little. So, do not feel bad, there are those who are worse off!
