Get quick formatting info in Word


You can get instant information about the formatting of any text or graphic in a document, but few Word users know this little trick. Press <Shift>-<F1>, which turns the mouse pointer into a question mark with an arrow. Click on the text or graphic in question to call up a box showing formatting information.

Extra: After pressing <Shift>-<F1>, click on any command, icon, toolbar, or other feature on Word's window to see a description of that item. Just press <Esc> to return the mouse pointer to its normal function.
