Today we have a few short but sweet Microsoft Office tips. First, try going to File | Open in an Office application. Now tap Alt+6, and you will notice that the window view changes from list, to details, to properties, to preview and then back. Second, you can toggle on and off smart quotes in an Outlook text message by pressing Shift+Ctrl+Quote Key. Our final Microsoft Office tip comes to us from Lockergnomie Rob Marshall. According to Rob, if you need to copy a formula through an entire column all you need to do is have the formula in one of the cells of that column and if you click on that cell then you will see a little black square in the bottom right-hand corner. If you double-click that square then it will copy that formula all the way down that column starting from that cell. Now, this tip only works for columns, and NOT for rows in Excel.
