Keyboard Shortcuts

Tips
Miscellaneous
- Creating cross-references in Word (See [1])
- When using bookmarks (as in tip above), better make the bookmarks visible (Menu Tools → View → Show Bookmarks).
This will avoid to inadvertently insert text inside some predefined bookmarks (particularly relevant when cross-referecing the bookmark with field { REF } ) - How to setup Q&A Styles in Word 2007
- Create bibliography entries in word, use fields:
{ INCLUDETEXT "{ DOCPROPERTY docpath }\\{ DOCPROPERTY relBiblioPath }" lit_FIPS_180_3}
Fixing Bullets in Words
- Bullets & Style!!! —How to control bullets in Word
- To create a new list style from an existing style, first create a sample in the document, and select Define New List Style... while cursor is in the sample list.
- Note that one can repurpose the bullet button in the ribbon to apply the List Bullet style instead [2]
"...intercept the built-in FormatBulletDefault command by placing this simple macro in your normal.dotm: Sub FormatBulletDefault() Selection.Paragraphs(1).Style = wdStyleListBullet End Sub"

Fields and Switches
Fields
- The Seq field ([3])
Field code | Result |
---|---|
{ SEQ MySeq \# 000 \* MERGEFORMAT } | 000 001 002 |
- The = (formula) field
- Invalid character setting error → see section below
- The Ref field
- Example: { REF myBookmark \h } (\h indicates that cross-reference is also an hyper-link)
Field switches
- The format (\*) field switch ([4])
- The Numeric Picture (\#) field switch ([5])
- Examples: { = 4 + 5 \# 00.00 } displays "09.00", { = 9 + 6 \# $### } displays "$ 15", { = 111053 + 111439 \# x## } displays "492", { = 1/8 \# 0.00x } displays "0.125".
Troubleshoot
Speed / Performance Issues
Various recommendations to avoid flickering cursor or cursor disappearing when typing.
- Keep the Ribbon minimized (C-F1)!
- Disable Mark grammar errors as you type
- Word in Draft mode.
Miscellaneous
- Invalid character setting error when using the = (formula) field
- This is due to incorrect regional setting, when both list separator and decimal separator are the same (see [6] and [7])
- Pictures not showing in DRAFT mode, when saving in .docx format
- Known bug (see [8], [9]). Work-around is either to switch to Print Layout mode or save into compatibility .doc format.
- When Saving Word Document Reviewer name is changing to "Author" or "A1" etc
- Go to Office Button|Word Options|Trust Center|Trust Center Settings|Privacy Option|Document Specific Settings, then uncheck Remove Personal Information from File Properties on Save [10]
