Word Processing Tips

Reproduce formats by painting them; create fancy horizontal lines in a few keystrokes; indent both sides of a block quote.

Unformat All in Word

Sometimes a document gets overformatted. Whether you did it yourself or you're working with someone else's doc, getting rid of all formatting and starting fresh may be the best course. In Word 98 and 2000, this takes only four steps, which you can record as a macro for future use: Press Ctrl-A to select the entire document. Press Ctrl-Shift-N to apply the Normal style to the document. Press Ctrl-Space to remove all manual character formatting. Press Ctrl-Q to remove all paragraph formatting.
