You probably already know that Word allows you to assign your own shortcut keys to invoke styles or initiate macros. (See previous SoftTalk tips.) At some point you may want to print a list of the assignments you have made. This is handy to keep near the computer as a quick-reference guide or "cheat sheet." To print your list:

1. Select "Print" from the File menu. (In Word 2007, select Print after clicking the Office button.) Word displays the Print dialog box.

2. Using the "Print What" drop-down list, select Key Assingments.

3. Click on OK with your mouse to print your shortcuts.

Do you have a large amount of data that you'd like to get to the bottom of? Press Ctrl+End, and Excel immediately jumps to the bottom right cell that contains data.

Want to go back home? Press Ctrl+Home, and Excel takes you right to cell A1 (the top left cell).

Want to snoop around? Use the arrow keys to quickly move around a range. Ctrl+↑ will take you to the top of a range containing data, Ctrl+↓ to the bottom, Ctrl+← to the left and Ctrl+→ to the right end of a range containing data.

You may already know that you can customize the available tools on your toolbars, but did you know that you can also change the image of these tools? To customize the appearance of your buttons in Word, follow these steps:

1. Right-click your mouse on any toolbar visible in Word to display a Context menu.

2. Choose Customize from the Context menu. Word displays the Customize dialog box with the Toolbars tab selected.

3. Right-click your mouse on the toolbar button you wish to modify. (Right-click on the toolbar button itself, not within the dialog box). Word displays a Context menu.

4. Choose "Edit Button Image" or "Change Button Image" from the Content menu. Word displays the Button Editor.

5. Use the controls within the Button Editor to change how the image on the button appears.

6. When you're satisfied with the appearance of the button, click on OK to close the Button Editor.

7. Click on "Close".
