OneNote Shortcuts That Are Very Useful

Posted on by Posted in Office 365

I personally hate to wasting time and keystrokes and if you are anything like me you will find this very helpful. Using shortcut keys can save you lots of time. And the good news is that you do not have to look through your ribbon to find them!

Follow the steps below to learn how:

  1. CTRL+C – will copy your selected text to your clipboard. It is the same command as using the Copy button on the Clipboard group of the Home tab of your Ribbon.
  2. CTRL+V – will paste you copied text from your clipboard to the area where your cursor is. It is the same command as using the Paste button on the Clipboard group of the Home tab of your Ribbon.
  3. CTRL+X – will cut your selected text from your document and to the clipboard. It is the same command as using the Cut button on the Clipboard group of the Home tab of the ribbon.
  4. CTRL+B – will embolden your selected text in your document. It works as a toggle in that if you select the bold text and use the shortcut again, then the text will return to normal. It is the same command as using Bold on the Font group of the Home tab of your Ribbon.
  5. CTRL+I – will italicize your selected text in your document. It works as a toggle in that if you select the italic text and use the shortcut again, then the text will return to normal. It is the same command as using the Italic button on the Font group of the Home tab of the Ribbon.
  6. CTRL+Z – will undo your last action. For example, if you had keyed in text or did an action on your document, CTRL+Z will undo it.

I know you will find these shortcuts very useful!

It is a dark and dreary day where I am situated.  Hurricane Ian is making me long for summer again. It is damp and cold.  I shall not be warm again until next Summer!

Regardless of the weather I am doing well. I have actually been venturing out again and loving that!  On days like this one I keep myself busy with knitting, sewing, embroidery, and baking.  Could be worse right?

I hope you enjoy the newsletter this month.

Please remember to be kind to everyone you meet. We never know what is going on in someone’s life. Take care and check in on  your friends and neighbors!

Until next time,

Stay positive and test negative!
