Microsoft Word is the most important and necessary tool for any office work. And the number of functions that it has will shock any person. We have selected 20 tips that will help you simplify your work with Word and automate some routine tasks. You can read similar material for Excel.
Insert date and time
You can quickly insert a date using the key combination Shift + Alt + D. The date will be inserted in the format DD.MM.YY. The same operation can be done over time using the combination Shift + Alt + T.
Fast register change
If you do not yet own the blind typing method, then CAPS LOCK can play a trick on you. By accidentally turning it on and not looking at the screen, you can type a mountain of text that will have to be deleted and rewritten from scratch due to one pressed button. But by selecting the desired text and pressing Shift + F3, you will change the case from uppercase to lowercase.
Cursor acceleration
Usually, if you move the cursor with the arrows, it moves one letter at a time. To speed up its movement, hold down the Ctrl key together with the arrow.
Selecting fragments of text located in different places
A very useful feature that allows you to highlight inconsistent pieces of text. Hold Ctrl and select the pieces of text you need.
Clipboard
If you use copy and paste (and you probably use them), then most likely you know about the extended clipboard in Word. If not, then it is called by pressing the button of the same name and shows everything that you copied to the buffer during the work.
Quick screenshots
If you are doing a manual, a service review, or you just need to paste a screenshot into Word, this can be done very simply using the appropriate tool. Click the Snapshot button and Word will show all active windows. By clicking on any of them, you will get a screenshot of this window.
Hyphenation
Turning on hyphens can improve the readability of your text, as well as getting rid of long blank spaces between words. You can arrange them yourself or entrust it to the computer. The button is located in the menu "Page layout" - "Hyphenation".
Watermark
You can add a watermark to your document for added protection. To do this, go to the "Design" menu and select "Underlay". Word has four standard templates, you can also create your own.
Repeat previous command
A very useful feature that allows you to duplicate the last command. If you press F4, then Word will repeat the last command you made. This can be text input, consecutive deletion of several lines, applying styles to different sections of text, and much more.
Stress setting
Putting emphasis in Word is easy. To do this, place the cursor after the letter that should be accented, and hold down the key combination Alt + 769. Important: the numbers must be pressed on the numeric keypad on the right.
Ribbon customization
The top ribbon with buttons can be very flexibly customized. To do this, go to the menu "File" - "Options" - "Customize Ribbon". Here you can add features that were not there before, and remove those that are not needed. Moreover, you can delete or create your own tabs with functions.
Quick selection of a large piece of text
To quickly select a large piece of text, place the cursor at its beginning and click with the mouse while holding Shift at the end of the fragment. It will save time and nerves in situations where you have to select several sheets at once.
Fast document navigation
There are several combinations that greatly speed up document navigation:
- Ctrl + Alt + Page Down - next page;
- Ctrl + Alt + Page Up - previous page;
- Ctrl + Home - move to the top of the document;
- Ctrl + End - guess for yourself. :)
Inserting a new page
How I hate myself for not knowing this combination before. Ctrl + Enter allows you to instantly create a new leaf, rather than holding Enter with one hand while brewing tea with the other.
Changing the default save folder
By default, Word saves all files to the Documents folder. In order to change this, go to the menu "File" - "Options" - "Save". In the line "Location of local files by default" select the folder you need. In the same menu, you can set the default document format, autosave, and more.
Source Formatting
In order to return the text to its original formatting, you need to press the key combination Ctrl + Spacebar.
Word as a task manager
If you're a big fan of Microsoft and Word in particular, you can even use it as a task manager. True, to begin with, you have to try a little. Right-click on the features ribbon at the top and select Customize Ribbon. In the right column, enable the only disabled Developer tab.
Go to the "Developer" tab that appears and find the "Checkbox" element, which shows a checkmark (why not). Now, by clicking on the checkbox, you can create lists of tasks and mark them as completed.
Vertical selection of text
If you accidentally mess up your list, you can highlight the text vertically. To do this, hold Alt and use the mouse cursor to select.
Protecting a document with a password
It doesn't even need to be said why. In our age, when information has become the main weapon, it never hurts to have additional protection. To protect a document with a password, go to the "File" tab and select the "Protect Document" option. Now feel free to create a password, but remember that if you forget it, you will not be able to recover it.
The fastest way to open Word
Rounding out our list is an incredible hack. If before, in order to open Word, you created a new document or searched for it in the Start menu, now this is a thing of the past. Press the key combination Windows + R and enter in the window that appears winword. If you don't use the command line for other commands, then the next time you press Windows + R, the command to start Word will automatically load and you just need to press Enter.

Any dough requires skill and skillful hands. Not every housewife will be able to cook a magnificent fragrant flour product the first time. To cope with this task, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the basic rules for working with the test.
1. To make pastries fluffy and soft even the next day, diluted potato starch should be added to the dough. Another necessary condition that helps to make pies even tastier is well-risen dough. A prerequisite, which is sifted flour enriched with oxygen.
2. In the dough for pies, bread, pancakes, and any other, with the exception of dumplings, puff, custard, sand, it is recommended to add a handful or a tablespoon of semolina to half a liter of liquid. Try it and you will definitely see that this is just invaluable advice.
4. Keep the room free of drafts. Otherwise, subsequently, a dense crust will form on your pie.
5. If you are kneading yeast dough, then all products should be at room temperature, but not cold, as cold slows down the rise of the dough.
6. Moreover, it is necessary to add warm liquid to the yeast dough, heated to about 30-35ºС. This is necessary so that the yeast in the liquid loses its activity. 
7. Knead the dough with dry hands.
8. Do not rush to put the product directly into the oven. Let it come for 15-20 minutes. Otherwise, the dough will not rise well and will probably not bake well.
9. So that the filling in the pies does not dry out, bake them over medium heat.
10. It is better to add non-melted butter to any dough, because. melted butter significantly impairs the structure of the dough.
11. All rich products, which include milk, are much tastier, more aromatic, and the crust is more shiny and beautiful.
12. High-quality yeast for dough should be fresh and have a pleasant alcoholic smell. To check the quality of yeast, prepare a dough. Sprinkle lightly with flour. If no cracks appear after 30 minutes, this means that the quality of the yeast leaves much to be desired.
13. Remember that with an excess of sugar in the dough, the pies quickly “blush” and burn, and the fermentation of the yeast dough also slows down, and, therefore, the pies are less fluffy.
14. To improve the fermentation of the dough will help fats, which are softened to a creamy state and which are added at the end of kneading the dough.
15. To make the finished cake crumbly and tender, it is recommended to add only yolks to the dough.
16. For pies, it is better to bake them, it is better to bake them on low heat.
17. The filling will be better felt in the pie if the dough is rolled out as thin as possible.
18. Before spreading the filling on the dough, lightly sprinkle the bottom layer of the dough with starch, so the bottom of the pie will be dry. 
19. In no case do not overexpose the dough, three hours in heat is enough for the dough to rise, otherwise the quality of baking will be much worse.
20. Yeast dough pastries can be greased with milk, optionally sprinkled with poppy seeds, salt, caraway seeds.
21. To achieve a delicious gloss on pastries, grease them with sugar water, milk or a beaten egg. Yolks give a more beautiful shine.
22. All sweet pastries that are sprinkled with powdered sugar can be lubricated with butter, which will give a special flavor.
23. If you grease the cake with egg white, then a shiny golden crust will form during baking.
24. Take note, the more fat and less liquid in the dough, the more crumbly the flour products are.
25. Excess baking soda gives baked goods an unpleasant dark color and an unpleasant odor.
26. If suddenly the dough turned out to be too wet, then you can put parchment paper on it and roll it through it.
27. Shortcrust pastry is best taken out of the molds when chilled.
28. If you chose raisins as the filling, then before adding it to the dough, you need to roll it in flour.
30. If it's time to put the dough in the oven, and you are busy, then the dough can be covered with paper soaked in water, shaking off the water well.
31. Don't rush to cut a hot cake. In case of emergency, hold the knife in hot water and then quickly dry it, or heat the knife over gas. Hot cakes should be cut with a hot knife.
32. If you cannot remove the cake from the pan, use a string.
Fortune Cookie Recipe
Ingredients:
2 egg whites4 tsp water
3 tbsp vegetable oil
0.5 cup sugar
0.5 cup flour
0.5 tsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp vanillin
Cooking method:
At the preparatory stage, you need to cut out strips of plain paper about 6-7 centimeters long and 1 cm wide. On these paper strips, you can write wishes, congratulations, whatever your heart desires. Next, let's start preparing the dough. Proteins must be separated from the yolks. Beat egg whites well. Add vanilla, vegetable oil and continue whisking everything together. The mixture should start to foam.In a separate bowl, combine salt, sugar, starch, flour and water. Stir until a homogeneous mass is formed. While beating, gradually add the eggs. The result should be a thick mass. Preheat the oven to 180C. Grease baking paper with butter. Using a spoon, spread the dough in small circles on paper. Leave enough space between circles.
Bake the product until golden brown for about 10-13 minutes. After that, you can attach paper notes. To give the cookies the desired shape, use the side of the mug. Try to bend the liver in half so that the ends visually touch through the mug. Fix the cookie in this state for a while, so it will retain the desired shape.
The rolled cookies are then placed in muffin tins. If it does not fit, then the form can be corrected. Bake cookies for another 5-10 minutes until done.
And to make your pastries based on puff yeast dough airy and soft inside and crispy on the outside, we have prepared recommendations for working with Myasnov BAKERY dough, as well as examples of baking options that can be prepared.
Five steps from buying dough to finished baking
1. Defrost the dough. To do this, put it on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator or leave it at room temperature away from heat sources for 1-1.5 hours. Re-freezing is not allowed.
2. Form the desired pastry and place on a buttered baking sheet. For this purpose, well suited.
3. To obtain a golden crust, grease the baking surface with diluted water or or Meat Farm. Do not touch the edges as they will harden during baking. Sprinkled pastries do not need to be lubricated.
4. Leave the pastries for 50-60 minutes until complete proofing in a draft-free room at a temperature of 26-30 0 C.
5. Bake products at a temperature of 220-240 0 C for 15-25 minutes. The time may vary depending on the type of pastry and the features of your oven.
Methods for cutting puff pastry and molding products
What to cook from puff yeast dough? Croissants, puffs, baskets, envelopes, pies with all kinds of fillings... There are a lot of options. Choose!
Snail
1. Roll out the dough. Please note that if you take a whole layer, the snails will turn out to be quite large. In this case, we used half of the layer.
2. Lubricate the dough with an egg over the entire area. You can apply your favorite cream.
3. Add Myasnov BUFET raisins - or, to your taste, chocolate drops or other filling of your choice.
4. Gently roll up the dough.
5. You should get a roll, as in the photo.
6. Cut the roll into portions. Separate the snails from each other, turn over, put on a baking sheet and send to bake.
Curl
1, 2. The first two stages repeat the initial stages of snail preparation. The only difference is that in this case we used jam for lubrication. Artisan jelly marmalade Myasnov BUFET -, or is perfect.
3. Fold the dough on one side to about the middle of the formation.
4. Do the same on the other side.
5. The edges should "converge" exactly in the middle, as shown in the photo.
6, 7. Cut the resulting workpiece into portions. Please note that it is necessary to work with a knife carefully so that the curls do not fall apart and do not lose their shape.
8. Embellish curls if desired. We sprinkled the products with coconut flakes.
Kare
1. Cut the dough into squares about 10*10 cm in size.
2. Each square must be folded into a triangle.
3. On one side of the triangle with a knife (we recommend a pizza cutter), make a cut, but not completely.
4. Turn the triangle back into a square, grease one corner along the edge, where the cuts are, with an egg.
5. Take the resulting cut corner and move it to the opposite corner.
6. Bind the edges. That is why we smeared them with an egg. You have a square-shaped product.
Basket unsweetened
This pastry differs from the previous one only in the filling. Therefore, we repeat the steps of preparing the basket itself and proceed to filling.
5. You will need pre-diced cheese - they can be put whole or cut in half.
6. Put in a couple of mozzarella cubes first.
7. Add a couple of tomato slices. If the basket is not yet filled, repeat.
pretzel
1. Cut the dough into thin strips about 15-20 cm long.
2. Fold the horseshoe strip, sprinkle with grated cheese along the entire length - or Myasnov FARM.
3. In order for the cheese to remain on the dough during further manipulations, we recommend that you lightly “walk” over the workpiece with a rolling pin: this way you will, as it were, crush the cheese into the dough.
4. Take the ends of the "horseshoe" and cross them "crosswise" so that the workpiece resembles an untied tie.
5. Then grab the intersection and flip it 360 0.
7. Sprinkle cheese again: you can't ruin a pretzel with cheese!
We are sure you can come up with many more baking options yourself. Experiment! Good luck and don't forget to share photos of your creations on social networks with hashtags #myasnov #myasnovbakery #kulturamyasnov #dough

How to create a numbered or bulleted list
Using numbered or bulleted lists can help highlight items or show important steps, hierarchy, or sequence of something.
To stop adding new elements and return to standard text, click the numbering icon again at the top of the document.
The bulleted list is created in the same way, the only difference is 1 step. Instead of the "Numbering" button, click on the "Markers" button, it is located to the right.
There is another way to create a list. First, the user enters all the items in the list, each necessarily on a new line. When all the items are typed, select them all and click either on the numbering or on the markers, depending on which list you need.
You will get the same result. These are different ways and there is no right or wrong, the main thing is that the goal is achieved. Use the method that is convenient for you.

Necessarydistinguish two stages of work:
research process withfixation obtained results, observations, conclusions and description of the study FOR OTHERS, i.e. for people who are experts in the same field of knowledge, but may not be familiar with the subtleties, details of your narrow problem. This is the reader, on whose perception the text of the work should be oriented. You describe the results and results of the study you have already completed, so the main task at this stage is to organize the presentation of material for a person who is not familiar with your "kitchen".
It is useful to highlight the mostimportant and secondary in the material, to successfully arrange the information so that the logic of proving the problem, the sequence of disclosure of the purpose and objectives of the work is clear from the TEXT. Mosteasy way - organization of the material from the general to the particular. First, a general classification of the material, indicating the criteria for dividing it into groups and subgroups. If the division turns out to be too fractional, then you must decide on which phenomena to dwell on in this work in detail and why? Your choice will determine the initial division of the chapter into paragraphs, parts, etc. The plan looks the simplest, where each group of facts (or aspect of the description) corresponds to a separate part of the text. Thus, based on the characteristics of the material and aspects of its analysis, you will determine the structure of the text. The structure of the main part of the work is consistent with the supervisor. Then it is useful to separate the part of the facts that you can explain using the information available in the literature. Describe these facts, explain them. If you disagree with something, see contradictions or a different solution to the problem, then state it with reason. Pay attention: are there other interpretations of such facts? What specifically can you clarify or refute? Why? How useful is your decision? Groups of facts that are not described in existing publications or not mentioned at all, try to interpret them yourself, based on the theoretical concepts known to you. Qualitative-quantitative experimental data, both your own and those obtained by other researchers, can be used as methods of substantiation.
For serious study and memorization of a large amount of information, it is necessary to learn rational techniqueswork with text . The ability to work with the text of the book will not only help to remember the read text for a long time, but will also teach you to briefly formulate and express the main thoughts.
We propose to divide all ways of reading into groups. Each time, before you start reading, you need to choose a certain mode in accordance with the goals, objectives and time budget.
Basic ways of reading:
deep reading;
selective reading;
reading-browsing;
reading-scanning.
Let's consider each of these methods separately.
Deep reading. In this reading attention is paid to the details, they are analyzed and evaluated. Some high school teachers call in-depth reading analytical, critical, creative. This way of reading is considered the best in the study of academic disciplines. With such reading, a schoolboy or student does not just read the text and finds out incomprehensible places, but, based on his knowledge and experience, examines the issue critically, creatively, findststrengths and weaknesses in the explanations, gives an independent interpretation of the provisions and conclusions. Their interpretation, their view make it easier to remember the material read, increase the student's activity in the classroom. In this way, material is usually read on a new, unfamiliar topic, tables.
Selective reading - a kind of speed reading, in which individual sections of the text are read selectively. In this case, the reader seems to see everything and does not miss anything, but fixes his attention only on those aspects of the text that he needs. This method is very often used when rereading a book after previewing it. Naturally, the speed of such reading is much higher than the speed of ordinary reading, since the pages of the book in this case are flipped until the desired section is found. It is read in depth.
Read-View used to preview the book. This is an extremely important way of reading, which, despite its simplicity, few master. The remarkable Russian scientist N. A. Rubakin mastered it to perfection. Here is how his son, prof. A. N. Rubakin: “He read amazingly quickly, or rather, determined the book, its value. I took the book in my hands, ran through the preface, searched the table of contents for the most important provisions of the author, by which one could judge his views, looked through the conclusion - and the diagnosis of the book and its contents was made.
Scanning. The name itself speaks of the nature of such reading: it is a quick scan in order to search for a surname, a word, a fact. If you purposefully develop and train the visual apparatus and especially peripheral vision, it is possible, when looking at a page of text, to instantly see the desired surname, title, necessary quote.
The main types of records when working with scientific text
Work on compression begins with a careful reading of the text and highlightingkey words and sentences. Key words and sentences carry the main semantic load in the text. Based on the selection of keywords and sentences, they composeplantext.
Plan is a guide to the text, a list of the main ideas of the text. A good plan clearly reflects the main content of the text and makes it easy to remember. This is the shortest text entry.
The plan could be:
nominal and thesis
simpleanddifficult
The plan has a number of advantages. Hereflects the logic of the presentation of the text, and a well-written plan reveals the content of the text.With the help of the plan, the contents of the source can be restored to memory.Based on the plan, further notes are made: theses and abstract of the text.
Algorithm for drawing up a complex plan
Formulate the main idea of the text.
Highlight the main ideas of the text (subtopics).
Group the text around the main ideas of the text, breaking it into parts.
Title each section. The title should bebriefand answer the question:“What is this part of the text talking about?”
Headings are consecutively numbered with Roman numerals.
Large parts of the text are divided into smaller ones and titled. Highlight the subparagraphs of the plan in the main part and number them with Arabic numerals.
The hardest part of working on a plan is to articulate the headings clearly.A well-designed plan is fifty percent of the success of all work on the text. This is the basis for makingthesesandabstract.
The main mistakes when drawing up a plan:
The inaccuracy of the wording of the points of the plan: it is not clear what is being discussed in this part, excessive brevity or vagueness.
Items of plans are not interconnected, there is no logical connection between items and sub-items.
The text is divided into parts regardless of the selected thoughts.
Excessive fragmentation of the text, many small subparagraphs that are a simple listing of facts.
Drafting of abstracts
To draw up abstracts for each item of the plan, it is necessary to briefly write down the main idea of the selected part of the text. Abstracts are the golden mean between the headings of the points of the plan and the written retelling of the text.
Abstracts - a brief, consistent presentation of the main ideas of the text.
note-taking can be done in three ways:
Citation (full or partial) of the main provisions of the text;
Transmission of the main ideas of the text "in your own words";
Mixed option.
All options involve the use of abbreviations.
analyze the content of each fragment of the text, highlighting relatively independent in meaning;
highlight the main information from each part, removing the redundant;
write down all the information important for subsequent recovery in your own words or quoting using abbreviations.
To visualize the differences between plan , thesis and summary you can refer to the table:
| Plan | Thesis | Abstract |
| Answers the question: About what does it say in the text? | Answers the questions: About what does it say in the text? What does it say in the text? | Answers the questions: About what does it say in the text? What does it say in the text? How Does the author prove and confirm his thoughts (examples, facts)? |
