Format Again by Keyboard

Shortcut to copy


This is one of those tips that you probable skimmed past some time ago.
Rather than using the Format Painter, here's a keyboard shortcut:
  1. Select the text with the formatting you want.
  2. Ctrl+Shift+C.
  3. Select the text to be formatted.
  4. Ctrl+Shift+V will paste the new formatting.
It's the Shift key that adds the functionality to our old friends Copy/Paste.
I think I saw this in:
OfficeLetter.com

    Backup Your Word

    Stand behind your documents


    Backup/restore or transfer AutoCorrect, AutoText, Macros, and other critical files from one version of Word and Windows to another


    1. Normal.dot:
      Stores formatted AutoCorrect entries, AutoText entries, keyboard shortcuts, menu customizations, custom toolbars, styles, macros.

    2. acl file:
      Stores unformatted AutoCorrect entries (the majority of your AutoCorrect entries).

    3. custom.dic:
      Words you add during spellcheck.

    4. Templates you create (.dot files).
    From ProductivityTalk.com:
    MS Word's critical files

    Word comes with a supplemental macros template that includes the AutoCorrect Utility. The utility is used to backup and restore entries. If you only do the backup portion, it will create a regular Word document that you can print.. In Word 2002/2003: it's part of the support.dot (included on Office installation CD)

    AutoCorrect Utility

    Also: Export AutoCorrect
