How to Create Shortcuts for Symbols in Microsoft Word
Though graphical user interface has almost smashed away the command line, still keyboard shortcut is very popular among professionals. Still it is the best way to get out the best from any software. Because graphical user interface may let you easily use the software but keyboard shortcuts can give you the productivity.
Earlier Ive provided keyboard shortcuts for different programs. You can also read these:
- Keyboard Shortcuts for MS Excel
- Shortcuts for Internet Browsers
- Ctrl + A to Ctrl + Z Shortcuts for MS Word
- Keyboard Shortcuts for MS Word
Today you will learn how to create shortcuts for symbols or special characters in MS Word. For example: Alt + 1 for ×, Ctrl + Num 0 = ≠, Ctrl + Num 1 = ÷ etc. Okay lets begin:
- At first open MS Word.
- Then go to Symbol (Word XP and 2003 users will find it under Insert Menu. And Word 2007 and 2010 should go to the Insert Tab then at the right side there will be Symbol option. Then choose More Symbols from down arrow).
- Now you will see the Symbol Window with many symbols arranged under different fonts.
- Select the Symbol or Character you want to make a shortcut for.
- Click the Shortcut Key.
- In the Press New Shortcut Key box press the key combination you wanna use for the selected symbol. For example: Ctrl + desired letter. Desired letter maybe 1 or num 1, or A, B, C etc. But make sure that this combination doesnt conflict with any existing shortcuts. (Never assign any shortcuts from Ctrl + A to Ctrl + Z. Use Alt key while combining with A to Z)
- Finally hit on the Assign button. Or if you wanna remove the previous one then hit on the remove button. Thats it.
Note: Some characters may already have shortcut key combination. You will see the combination when you are in the symbol window. It will be right to the Shortcut Key button.

HOW TO DRAW A PANDA IMAGE FLASH DRIVE DESIGN IN MS WORD
MICROSOFT WORD DRAWING PROJECT No. 17
TITLE: A PANDA IMAGE FLASH DRIVE DESIGN
TYPE: GRAPHIC DESIGN
Having drawn the panda and the flash drive in MS Word in the earlier graphics projects, why not combine these two subjects to create a panda image flash drive design. In case readers wonder why use a serious looking panda image for the design, I feel that the flash drive with this design is suitable to be used to keep “serious data” such as document, PowerPoint and other project files. I prefer to use the rabbit design instead to keep “light data” such as movie, mp3 and picture files. Well, this is only my opinion.
