Insert Rows and Columns Quickly in MS Excel

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Inserting rows and columns into your MS Excel worksheet is a fairly easy task.

  1. Select a row or column.
  2. Click on Insert | Row or Column, respectively.

MS Excel will insert a new row above the selected row and a new column to the left of the selected column.

As you all know, I like to take the quicker route with less keystrokes and save some time!

Alternative to the steps above, you can also achieve the same results using your keyboard:

  • Select a row or column and click Ctrl + Shift + =.
  • You can delete a row or column just as speedily by clicking Ctrl + Shift + -.
  • Should you change your mind, and decide you do not want that new row or column immediately after you added it/them, simply click Ctrl + Z.

Who doesn’t love to save time?

Working with WordPerfect Columns

Monday, September 29th, 2008

When working with columns in Corel WordPerfect, and you are utilizing columns, it may be a bit daunting when you want to create a column break.

  • All you have to do is Click CTRL + Enter to create a column break.

Any text after the column break is moved to the next column.

If your insertion point is in the last column and you click CTRL + Enter, the text is moved to the next page. The reason that this happens is that there is no next column on that page, so the result will look like a page break.

To create a true page break while working with columns, follow the steps below:

Click CTRL + Shift + Enter.

This keyboard combination should give you a page break no matter where your insertion point is located.

Many thanks to Diane Bentley for this tip.
