Subscribers: How to Remove Double Spaces in your Word Document

Posted on by Posted in Subscribers Word 2013

Double spaces are a pet peeve of mine. They are archaic and in my opinion they should not be placed after a period in your document. It should ALWAYS be a single space. There are many, many folks who rebel against this and you are entitled to your opinion, but I'm right! If, on the

How to Copy & Paste Text Without Using your Keyboard in Word

Posted on by Posted in Word 2013

So, you have copied a very large amount of data from your worksheet in Excel  and it is sitting on your Clipboard waiting for you to paste it into your Word document. But, wait, you’re a very busy person today and you also have to move or copy some other piece of information first. Oh no!  You don’t want to have to go back and select and copy all that other information from your worksheet again!

Luckily for you there is a simple method to accomplish this without overwriting the data you have already copied to your Clipboard!

Follow the steps below to learn how:

  1. Highlight the part of your document that you would like to move or copy.
  2. Keep it highlighted.
  3. Now navigate to the location in your document where you would like to move it, but do not click there yet.

Now do this:

To move your text:

  • Click CTRL and right-click on the new location. You can also click F2 | move to the location |click Enter.

To copy your text:

Click CTRL + Shift and right-click the new location. You can also click  Shift + F2 | move to your location and click Enter.

You can now do your usual Copy & Paste to insert your Clipboard data into your document.

How to Use Find & Replace for Images in your Word Documents

Posted on by Posted in Word 2013

We all know that the Find & Replace feature in Word is a lifesaver when we want to replace sizable amounts of text in Word quickly.

However, did you know that you can use the very same feature to replace all instances of an image in your document with another? Perhaps not. I would not call this a perfect solution because it will replace all images with the same image. BUT, if you have a company logo in a large document that has to be replaced, this tip will definitely make it a lot easier for you!

Follow the steps below to learn how:

  1. Place your new image at the top of your document.
  2. Right-click it and select Copy.
  3. Delete the image.
  4. Click CTRL + H to open the Find & Replace tool.
  5. In the Find What area, key in ^g. (^ is found over the number 6 on your keyboard).
  6. In the Replace With field, key in ^c.

Find & Replace

  1. Click Replace All.
  2. Click OK.

The ^g tells Word you are looking for graphics and ^c is your Clipboard, and it tells Word you want to replace all graphics with the last saved item on your Clipboard.
