Info

General Shortcuts in Word 2003 (dependent on option settings — eg: Insert|Autotext|Autotext…, Tools|AutoCorrect Options…|AutoFormat):

Numbered List: Start paragraph with a number followed by a dot followed by white space.

Bulleted List: Start paragraph with “*” (asterisk) followed by white space.

Single Thin Border (margin to margin): Start a new line with at least three “-” (hyphens) followed by ENTER.

Double Thin Border (margin to margin): Start a new line with at least three “=” (equals) followed by ENTER.

Single Thick Border (margin to margin): Start a new line with at least three “_” (underscores) followed by ENTER.

Thick & Thin Border (margin to margin): Start a new line with at least three “#” (hashes) followed by ENTER.

Thick Dotted Border (margin to margin): Start a new line with at least three “*” (asterisks) followed by ENTER.

Thin Wavy Border (margin to margin): Start a new line with at least three “~” (tildes) followed by ENTER.

Word(s) in BOLD: Precede first word with “*” (asterisk) and end last word with “*”.

Word(s) UNDERLINED: Precede first word with “_” (underscore) and end last word with “_”. [this may cause italics rather than underlines ???]

Thin Arrows (or ): Type “<--” or “-->” Thick Arrows( or ): Type “<==” or “==>”

Generate “fox” Paragraphs: Start a new paragraph (not after a page-break or column-break) with “=rand(m,n)” followed by ENTER. (Option Tools|AutoCorrect Options…|AutoCorrect/Replace As
Type must be enabled.)
“m” represents the number of paragraphs to generate, "n" the number of "fox" sentences per paragraph (five if ",n" omitted). "=rand()" will generate three paragraphs of five "fox" sentences each.
Q157373.

Starting a TABLE: Start a new paragraph with “+” (plus) followed by a number of “-” (hyphens), “=” (equals) and/or “+”, and ending the line with “+” followed by ENTER.
Each “+” determines a column boundary, and the number of consecutive “-” and/or “=” determines the width of the column. Only one row is created initially.

Auto Styles (assumes that the starting style is Normal):

Title: First line of document if BOLD, CENTRED and then UNBOLDENED before pressing ENTER at end of the line, with no terminating punctuation.
Subtitle: The second or third line similar to and after the Title line.
Heading 1: LEFT JUSTIFIED single-line paragraph EMBOLDENED at beginning of the line and then UNBOLDENED without terminating punctuation before pressing ENTER.
Heading 2: Any line of document if BOLD, CENTRED and then UNBOLDENED before pressing ENTER at end of the line, with no terminating punctuation, which does not qualify as Title or S
Body Text: CENTRED and BOLD over two or more lines with SHIFT-ENTER at the end of each intermediate line.
Body Text 2: LEFT JUSTIFIED and BOLD over two or more lines with SHIFT-ENTER at the end of each intermediate line.

(There may be other auto-styles to be discovered. Note that these do not always work as described — sometimes it is necessary to reselect the paragraph to invoke.)

The following is someone else's work. I can't remember where I got it, so I cannot attribute it correctly. However it is similar to the top of page 1, but is better looking. Both
versions are intended to be cut out and laid on top of the keyboard's function keys.

Caution: it does not appear to be up-to-date with Word 2003.
