Quick access to specific parts of large documents

Tip Do you frequently refer to a few large documents? If you're PC-savvy, you probably already use Shortcuts to open those documents in a hurry. But don't stop there. You can also create Shortcuts to specific sections of those documents. The only catch is that the application you use to read these documents must support Object Linking and Embedding (OLE). Here's what to do: open your document in an OLE-compatible application such as Word or Excel, and select a block of text or range of cells to which you often refer. Choose Edit--Copy, then right-click on the desktop or in a folder and choose Paste Shortcut. Repeat these steps as often as needed. Before trying the Shortcut, make sure you save the file. Leave these Shortcuts on the desktop or in a folder for easy access, or move them to the Start menu by right-clicking the Start button and choosing Open or Explore. Open the folder where you want your Shortcuts to appear, or right-click in an empty area of a folder window and choose New--Folder to create a new submenu. Move your Shortcuts to this folder. Now any time you want to open your file to the designated portion, choose its Shortcut from the Start menu. - Scott Dunn | Category: General, Spreadsheet, Word processing Issue: Apr 1997 Pages: 180 |
