Hi everybody,
I’m looking for a shortcut for strikethrough text…
Do you have an idea?
Many thanks
Two shortcuts to add, the home key returns the cursor to the beginning of a line and end brings the cursor to the end of a line, so if you wanna edit the beginning or end of a sentence quickly without having to use the mouse, you can just do that.
thanks for the information
Divine, that’s just pressing the “Home” and “End” keys. They send your cursor to the start and end of a line, respectively.
wordpad time and date.
the sequence is:
ALT+ 4
then hit enter.
make sure you have the quick ribbon enabled I think, you may not need it enabled.
Microsoft you better fix this NOW!!!! @Microsoft I had to die and come back to life to fix this issue.
it is much required/needed.
