My Tools: Word – CTRL+Shift+N

Jimmy, Grandad and Grandma go to CornwallCTRL+Shift+N does something incredibly simple – it sets the style of the selected text to “Normal”. As simple as that.

It’s a key combination that I like to use every day, but seems to be one that other people don’t use much at all. How do I know other people don’t use it – templates.

Nearly every template I see has the “Normal” style configured as something different to the main style of the document. One of the first things I do is to make them the same.

I suspect that this suggests another thing – people don’t use keyboard shortcuts, which certainly means that they are working very inefficiently.
