F12 Finesse
Here’s a quick tip for my readers who love to use the function keys. It turns out that the F12 key is very versatile in MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
Interested in its abilities?
Was that a “yes” I heard?
Good, so let’s take a look at its uses.
- F12 (alone) is the Save As command.
- Shift + F12 is the Save command.
- Ctrl + F12 is the Open command.
- Ctrl + Shift + F12 is the Print command.
Now I realize there are other key combinations that will accomplish these same items, but for those of you who learn better when it all revolves around a single key, this one is for you!
