This is a cool feature that I was unaware of… you can use F4 to repeat a formatting function in Excel. I tried out the F4 repeat on a couple of cell formats, and it works pretty well. Here’s how…
Multiple Office Clipboards in Office applications
Having done this tip gig for a number of years now, I don’t often find a tip that blows my mind. It’s even more rare that I find a tip that blows my mind, *and* has apparently been there for years. Today’s tip fits that bill… you can have up to 24 selectable Office Clipboard entries to choose from when you’re working in Outlook, Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. Even better is that they are shared across all those programs! Here’s how it works…
Adding shadowing to your PowerPoint images
This is a subtle tip (or at least it should be in my opinion). When you add an image into a PowerPoint slide, it normally starts out in a pretty flat state. However, you can use the Shape Effects option to add some depth to the image, and it can make your slides look a lot more professional. Here’s how to do that…
Using the Microsoft Stream web part in SharePoint Online
It’s one thing to have Microsoft Stream as your video portal for all your video content in the organization. However, if you’re using SharePoint Online, you might well want to embed a Stream video (or channel!) directly onto your page. You can do that with a Stream web part, and here’s how that works…
Getting your Microsoft Stream video content on your mobile device
I am a big fan of Microsoft Stream in Office 365. It’s a great way to share the video content in your environment in a managed and intuitive way. And now, it’s even better in that you can use the Microsoft Stream mobile application to watch your video content on the go! Here’s how that works…
Using the Screenshot feature in Excel
Here’s a feature in Excel that I never noticed before… like *that’s* a surprise! 🙂 If you need to add a screenshot in an Excel spreadsheet (perhaps for documentation), you can use the Screenshot feature that’s built into Excel… and you can manipulate the image once it’s out there! Here’s how you do that…
Pinning SharePoint document libraries to the Windows Quick Access area
If you use document libraries in SharePoint a lot, you’re probably best friends with the Open In Explorer option that launches the SharePoint document library in the Windows File Explorer interface. However, one of my co-workers (Sara Rice) brought this tip to my attention… you can pin that document library to the Windows File Explorer’s Quick Access area for faster access in the future. Here’s how that works…
Starting Outlook in something other than Inbox
It’s so common, I don’t even think about it any longer… when you start Outlook, it opens up in the Inbox. However, I saw a posting today by Jason Womack that tossed out the assumption that you *have* to start Outlook that way. Here’s how you can open it up in any folder you’d like…
Using the Read Aloud feature in Outlook
Have you ever gotten an email from someone that looks more like a novel than a request? Have you wished you could just have someone read it to you while you focus on something else? Well, with the Read Aloud feature in Outlook, you can now do that! Here’s how…
