Have you tried the Zoom feature of Teams? It can make your life easier. This works in the Desktop and Browser editions. Not on mobile app.
Use Ctrl + to Zoom in and Ctrl – to Zoom out.
Zooming In makes it easier to read and notice details. Find what level is comfortable for your eyes and the type of work you do. It will help you reduce eyestrain and work more effectively. Sometimes, Zooming out also helps to get the overall picture.
I hope you know that Office gives you 24 clipboards (not just one). Now, Windows 10 also gives multiple clipboards (starting Oct 2018 update). It is called Windows Clipboard History.
Simple method, just press Windows key + V. It will ask you to enable Windows Clipboard History. Click the Turn On button. That’s it.
The official way is to Go to Settings – search for Clipboard and enable it.
Nothing new here. Use the copy option in any software or Ctrl C – as usual. What is different is that earlier we used to get only ONE clipboard. So if you copied something else, the earlier clipboard content is overwritten.
If you press Ctrl V, the current clipboard will be pasted – again as usual.
But now, there is another option.
If you press Windows key with V, you will see a list of various items you have copied earlier. You can now choose which one you want to paste. The windows appears at the current cursor location in a document.
The list is visual. You can actually see the contents of the clipboard.
Click on the one you want to paste.
Pin frequent items to the Windows Clipboard History so that you don’t lose them.
It is cleared when you restart the PC. The Pinned items will be available even after a restart.
Maximum clipboard size is 4 MB. It is a very powerful clipboard. It understands all kinds of objects – not just text and images. For example, it can copy paste PowerPoint slides, Adobe Illustrator objects and so on.
Past data is stored in the history. So anyone who uses the Windows V shortcut on your PC (in your login) will see all the past clipboard entries.
BE CAREFUL ABOUT PASSWORDS AND OTHER SENSITIVE DATA
The general rule is: If you see a pin, you can unpin it. That rule fails if you try to Unpin Quick Access Folder in Windows 10. Commonly used folders should be pinned to the Quick Access area. Right click on any folder and choose Pin To Quick Access. Now you can go to the folder in just one click.
Unpin Quick Access Folder
In case you want to Unpin Quick Access Folder, you will want to click on the pin to unpin it. Unfortunately, that does not work. You must right click on the pinned item and choose Unpin From Quick Access option.
Drag drop also works for pinning folders. Drag the folder and drop it IN BETWEEN existing Quick Access Items. Be very careful while doing it. If you drag drop a folder on another folder, the entire folder will be MOVED or COPIED. Undo works in case you make a mistake. The cursor should look like this to PIN it rather than move it:
Use Quick Access area to speed up navigation to commonly used folders. If you are working on a project, add those folders as well. After the project is complete, remember to remove the related folders from Quick Access. Although Quick Access has no limit on entries, if you need to waste time to look for a Quick Access entry in a long list, it is not longer quick!
Most common ways of invoking Paste Special are:
Although all these methods work, Microsoft added a NEW shortcut since Office 2007. Most people don’t discover it. The shortcut is
The reason is simple. Paste Special is a variation of Paste. Paste shortcut is CTRL V. For Paste Special CTRL ALT V is more intuitive. It is definitely better than using mouse anyway.
But there is more to it.
Compare the actual act of pressing the older shortcut –
On the fact of it, there are three keys to be pressed in either case. So what is the difference?
Let me show you the difference using a keyboard layout.
You try pressing Alt E S using left hand and see the position of fingers.
Now compare it with CTRL V and CTRL ALT V
Usually we press CTRL key using little finger and V using index finger. The middle finger is anyway resting near ALT key. Look at the photo on left side – I have intentionally flexed the middle finger to expose the Alt key.
You just have to decide is it Paste or Paste Special at the last moment. If it is paste, don’t press the middle finger, if it is paste special – just press the middle finger (right side photo)
Another alternative is little finger for Ctrl, Index finger for V and thumb for Alt – which is also convenient. You try it out yourself and choose the method which is most comfortable to you.
This is ergonomics!
Imagine the amount of effort the Office team is taking to make our life easier and healthier… it is just that we simply don’t notice these things and therefore are not able to utilize the products effectively.
By the way, the 
shortcut works across ALL Office products. Including Project and Visio.
It does not work for OneNote because OneNote does not have Paste Special functionality at all. It does not mean that you cannot choose the paste format in OneNote. It does offer four paste options as expected:
In that case, the question is – why did Microsoft not choose a default format for paste and provide Paste Special in OneNote (like all other products)? Just to avoid a Paste Special dialog? That does not sound like a good reason.
This is my guess but I think that is the logical explanation.
The reason OneNote does not have two separate options – Paste and Paste Special – because :
Although the Copy Paste series is far from over, I will deviate from it and show you how to find useful keyboard shortcuts and reduce the damage to your wrist and tendons (which can happen due to excessive usage of mouse, among other things).
We often write in the order in which it comes to our mind. We then tend to reorder content by copy pasting it. There is a better method.
Just remember these very powerful shortcuts
Whenever you write content or text with paragraphs, in any Office product, you can use the Shift Alt Up and Down arrows to move it up or down.
This works with:
This is even more powerful.
In case of Word, by pressing Shift Alt Left arrow, you actually promote the heading style – or apply Heading1 Style.
If you use Shift Alt Right arrow, it demotes the style (and outline level)
This is the fastest way of creating documents with styles. No need to click on styles or use keyboard shortcuts which are more complex (Ctrl Alt 1 2 or 3).
Like Word, it can be used for promoting and demoting bullets.
Usually to create sub-level bullets we use TAB key. But that works just after a fresh new bullet is added. If you are somewhere in the middle of a paragraph, pressing TAB key will actually insert a tab and increase spacing.
However, Shift Alt Left / Right arrows work irrespective of where your cursor is.
Now the most powerful usage in PowerPoint is to edit hierarchical information in SmartArt Editor. Try to insert a SmartArt of type – Hierarchy – choose some Org Chart and then go to the editor. You can easily promote or demote items very quickly using this shortcut key.
