Close All and Save All Word 2007 Hotkey!

Yesterday I wrote an article called Save All and Close All Commands in Word Including MS Word 2007. In this article I showed you how to add the Close All and Save All buttons to your toolbar.

But there is also a way that I didn’t think of but Erik Mulder did think of it. Erik send me an e-mail with a pointer that it is possible to add a hotkey and it works practically in the same way as yesterdays tutorial.

 

Follow these steps if you want to create a hotkey for the Close All and Save All commands.

Save All and Close All Commands in Word Including MS Word 2007.

In the previous version of Microsoft Word you just have to press the Shift key and hold it when you click on the File menu and the menu displays the Save All and Close All commands. This is a pretty handy trick.

 

But unfortunately these commands are not available on the Word 2007 Ribbon; you will need to add these commands to the Quick Access toolbar to use them.

 

The easiest way to do this is by clicking the small down arrow to the right of the Quick Access toolbar and selecting More Commands.

Add Commands to the Quick Access Toolbar

In today’s Word Tip and Trick I want to show you a Tip with probably the most useful, easy and helpful Word customization possible. I’m talking about adding extra buttons to your quick access toolbar. Although it is the easiest form of customizing it’s often overlooked.

The easiest way to do this is by clicking the small down arrow to the right of the Quick Access toolbar and selecting a new button to add like in this case e-mail shortcut.

But this is quite limited, there are only a small number of commands you can add in this way, only the most popular. You can add more commands via the more commands option or via the Office button and then selecting Word Options and then selecting Customize. Both ways open the same window.

Disable the Screen Tips in MS Word.

I received an e-mail yesterday from Danielle asking if I could help out with a problem that she has with MS Word. It’s not really a problem but more a small annoyance.

 

Danielle asked if I know a solution to disable the annoying screen tips which appear when you rest your mouse pointer over a button/command.
