Learn MS Word Legal: Precisely: That Is Why I Use The ALT Key

Scenario You are working on a Table in MS Word. There are border lines within the table that are out of alignment and must be fixed. Now, when you grab an out of alignment border line within a table and you attempt to line it back up many times it will jump to the left or right of the line that is already in alignment. This can be very frustrating and in a work environment where time worked on a document is everything (hence document production) you need a time saving solution. Scenario 2: You want to place the Name and Title under the Signature line and you want precise positioning. Some of you already make use of the ALT Key: To use the ALT Key, you are holding down the ALT Key (left hand) and then clicking on the Hanging Portion of the "Hourglass" of the ruler in the case of positioning the Name and Title under the Signature line. As to fixing a table cell line that has become out of alignment. 1. Go to the vertical border line(s) within the table that is out of alignment. 2. With the left hand hold down the ALT Key and with your mouse, tug the out of alignment line back into alignment in relation to the line above. 3. The ALT Key allows you to "micro control" the positioning of the line and will give you pinpoint accuracy. 4. I also make use of it when setting up signature lines where I want to have the words Name and Title directly under the signature line and I like to use it for the re-positioning of tabs in the ruler as well 5. Once you get used to using it you will see its amazing value. Training From An Inside Perspective www.advanceto.com
