Well, MS Word is more than you probably know and these hacks will reveal just that. So here goes. 1. Hold down the Windows key and press H simultaneously to activate the speech-to-note feature. This would probably speed up typing for you as it is quite the chore sometimes. For times when the microphone can’t make out what you said, you still have your keyboard. 2. When you copy and paste a text and find that the text font, size and even colour does not match your own document, hitting Ctrl + Space will fix this problem. Your whole text will match completely with the formatting. 3. Ctrl + F will help you find any word in your text. You could do this if you need to delete a word or just change it. On Mac, hold Command + F. 4. If you want to switch a sentence between uppercase, lowercase, capitalize the first letter and so on, toggle the Aa button in the Home tab. There you will find “Sentence case, lowercase, UPPERCASE, Capitalize Each Word and toggle case” as options. Make sure you highlight the word or sentence first though.
