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.

 

• Click on the small down arrow to the right of the Quick Access toolbar

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.

How to Lose the Curly Quotes.

Okay, we have another reader’s question. I received an e-mail from Claudia with the following question.

 

“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.

 

If you and want to lose the curly quote’s you’ll need to do this:

 

• Click on the Office buttons.
• Select Word options.

 

 

• Go to the proofing section.
• 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.

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.

 

 

There is an option for your problem Danielle and I’ll show you, it’s pretty easy.

 

This is how you disable the screen tips in MS Word.

 

• Click the Office Button.
• Go to Word Options.

 

 

• At the Popular tab you’ll see the ScreenTip Style option and you have 3 available options.

Add or Show the Caps Lock Indicator in Your Status Bar.

Today I want to show you another useful trick for Microsoft Word 2007. If I recall correctly this setting is a default setting in previous versions of Microsoft Word but in 2007 it isn’t.

 

So that’s why I want to show you this small Microsoft Word tutorial.

 

If you want to add or show the Caps Lock Indicator in your status bar you’ll need to do this.

 

• Simply right click on the Word 2007 status bar.
• And select Caps Lock.

 

 

And that’s it. Life can be so simple;) I hope you enjoyed this Microsoft Word Tip.

Insert a Page Break – 2 options.

Hi, folks I hope you all enjoyed the weekend and that you are ready for a week full of cool and useful tips and tricks. We are starting the week kind of slow with a tip for Microsoft Word.

 

First of all; what is a page break?

 

A page break simply means that you force text and images to appear on the next page of a Word document.

 

A page break helps you to ensure that the table of content does not start at the middle of the page.

 

There are two options for inserting a page break.
