Tech / Mac Word Questions
« on: March 21, 2010, 03:37:06 PM »
Greetings! I've just switched from Dell to a MacBook Pro with Mac Word. I'm an accomplished MS Word user and have had trouble finding some of the commands and functions I enjoyed using in MS Word. Here's a list. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
-Instantly opening a new file on the desktop or in a folder without having to go to the menu, select a location for the file, etc. (In MS Word this is done through right-click in the location.)
-Repeat last command or commands. (MS Word: F4)
-Move cursor to previous location or to beginning or end of document. (MS Word: F5, C-Home, C-End)
-In Print Layout view, collapsing the space between pages to just a line. (MS Word: Double-click the space)
-In my setup, 12 pt type in Mac Word is quite small. Is there an easy way to set the default so 12 point is a larger size, so I won't have to manually increase type size each time I open a new file?
-In Draft view, when I add background color to document (I like gray), I lose formatting.
-Where can I find a good list of all the function keys in Mac Word?
Thanks.
