In a hurry? Take a shortcut!

Did you know that you can save yourself lots of time - not to mention extra work with your computer mouse and the possibility of associated repetitive-strain injury (RSI) - simply by learning some simple keyboard shortcuts?

For example - SHIFT+F3 in Microsoft Word means you can toggle between UPPER CASE, lower case and Sentence Case.  Or ALT+TAB allows you to quickly switch between running programs.

Software trainer Karen Roem - who regularly shares computer tips with Cambridge Network members via her 'Tame your computer' column - has now launched a new 'shortcut of the week' feature on her website, in an effort to help you work faster (and healthier).

Karen explains: "Keyboard shortcuts may sometimes be unintuitive or hard to remember, but we will drip feed a new shortcut weekly, to help you to boost productivity without reaching for your mouse.

"If you are unsure about any of the shortcuts, please do not hesitate to get in touch," she adds.

Find the shortcut on Karen's website here - and come back every week to learn a new one.
