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.

-
Click on Customize the left column.
-
Click on Choose Commands From box and select Commands Not In Ribbon.

“I am also a blogger and for almost every text job that I do on my blog, I use Word first. The problem is that I always get errors with the curly quotes. Isn’t there a handy fix that I can use for this?”
Yes there is and a pretty simple one too.

And now open the AutoCorrect options.
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.
