TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Word offers "tool tips", aka "screentips", those little balloons that
pop up to explain what something does when you hold your mouse cursor
above a toolbar icon. But did you know that you can get Word to also
display the keyboard shortcut for that function? Here's how:
Open the Tools menu, and select Customize. At the bottom of the
dialog, you'll see a checkbox labeled "Show shortcut keys in
Screentips". Select it and away you go!
A tip of the hat to Alan Wyatt's "WordTips" newsletter, which is a
very useful tool for those of us who grapple with Word daily. Details
