10+ Lesser-Known Shortcuts for Formatting Word Text

by Mahesh Kukreja on February 11, 2009

You probably have a few favorite keyboard shortcuts for formatting text – like Ctrl + B for applying boldface, Ctrl + I for applying italics, Ctrl + U for underlining, and maybe Ctrl + L to left-align text. But Word provides buttons for those tasks on the Formatting toolbar, so any efficiency gains are kind of a toss-up.

The real convenience lies in knowing some more obscure keyboard shortcuts – the ones that have no default button equivalents and that can save users from having to scrounge around dialog boxes looking for the appropriate options. Here are some shortcuts that are especially good for users to have under their belt.

Configure Microsoft Word, Excel 2007 to save file in 97-2003 format

by Mahesh Kukreja on December 26, 2008

This method is recommended to prevent compatibility issue. You have an option to choose a default file format in Word 2007.

Follow instruction below :

• Click on Microsoft Office Button
• Click on “Word Options” button located on the lower-right of the menu.

Remark:
In Excel 2007, the option will be “Excel Options” instead. However, the configuration below is the same.

On the Word Options dialog
• Click on “Save” button in the left pane.
• Click on a combo box located to the right of “Save files in this format” text
• Choose “Word 97-2003 Document (*.doc)”. With this option, your new document will be saved, by default, in Word 97-2003 Document file format. This will minimize a compatibility issue between Word 2007 users and previous version users. Once finish, click OK button

Remark:
In Excel 2007, only one change is from Word 97-2003 Document(*.doc) to Excel 97-2003 (*.xls)
• Next time you click “Save”, the file format will be Word 97-2003 Document as a default. To verify this, you will see “[Compatibility Mode]” in the document title after saving it.
