Some Office Hints
While writing papers, there are some really useful hints you must know. If you write down topics, usually it’s a royal pain on your back always to pick the mouse to choose the Heading 1 formatting. Just press [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[1] to [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[3] to mark the lines as a heading. Unfortunately this doesn’t work for Heading 4.
Another great thing is the rand macro. Sometimes it is useful to have some arbitrary text between all the headings which make the structure of you document. Just type in =rand() for some paragraphs of text or =rand(2) if you want exact two paragraphs. Of course you can choose any other number as well.
