Give
Me a Break!
Have you ever
had a bulleted or numbered list in either MS Word or MS PowerPoint
that really needed a blank line half way through it? You know, maybe
for a visual break.
Maybe your list
contains subsets and it would just make more sense if there was a
break in the flow.
Maybe something
like this:
1.
Item A
2. Item B
3. Item C
4. Item
D
5. Item E
What did you do
to create the break?
Did you turn the
bullets or numbering off, make the blank line and then go back and
turn them on again?
Or, if it's a
numbered list, did you go through the headache of making the numbers
continuous?
I know, what a
pain!
I couldn't agree
more.
Well, guess what!
What? (Thanks
for playing along there).
There's a faster
way!
Yep, you read
it right. A much faster way.
All you need is
an extra key. Yes, the Shift key to be exact.
Here's the scoop:
-
Next
time you're working on a list and you want a blank line, try Shift
+ Enter.
-
That
should put you on the next line, without the number or bullet.
-
Now,
hit the Enter key again (or, a couple times for
a bigger break in the list).
-
You
should now be another line down with the bullets back on or if you're
working with numbers, they'll continue counting exactly where they
left off.
It's that easy!
It's way faster
than all the hoops you jump through to turn this stuff on, off, on,
off again, etc.
Give it a try.
It's as easy as pie!
