Cool!<\/strong><br \/>\n    You know how quickly you got used to opening multiple tabs in browsers?  It&#8217;s a smart way to quickly move among Web pages; without it, browsing is lots  like running applications in DOS.<\/p>\n<p>Office Tab is a freebie that works in 2003 and older versions of Word,  Excel, and PowerPoint. Double-click on the tab bar to open a new a document in  a new tab; double-click a tab to close it. A right-click brings up a useful  menu where you can save or close all your documents; the Options menu lets you  change the look and color of the tabs. <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.techbite.com\/images\/wordtabmenu.jpg\" height=\"226\" width=\"429\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>You can save or close all your docs  with one <br \/>\nclick, or right-click the tab to close.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.techbite.com\/images\/wordtab.jpg\" height=\"372\" width=\"366\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Have multiple tabs any way you&#8217;d<br \/>\nlike in <br \/>\nWord,  Excel, PowerPoint, and  Access.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The program is from a Chinese developer (his name <em>might<\/em> be wangminbai) and the <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/hi.baidu.com\/officecm\/blog\/\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Baidu.com<\/a> site is confusing even using  Google&#8217;s translation.

No, I didn&#8217;t think so. It&#8217;s a nifty&#8211;and undocumented  feature&#8211;in Word 2003 and earlier that lets you add a small pull-down menu onto  the toolbar for instant access to often-used docs. For example, I stuck my Time  Wasters doc onto the Work menu as well as a to-do list. It takes no time to  active the feature, and it&#8217;s really simple, but telling you how to do it takes  days. [<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"#top\">top<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">&nbsp;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.techbite.com\/images\/workmenu.jpg\" height=\"236\" width=\"417\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Add Word docs you often access to <br \/>\nthe undocumented Work menu<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li> To set up the Work menu, select <em>Tools<\/em>, <em>Customize<\/em>, and click the Commands tab.\n<\/li>\n<li> In the Categories box, scroll down and select <em>Built-In Menus<\/em>.\n<\/li>\n<li> In the Commands box, scroll down to the bottom of the list and drag <em>Work<\/em> to your menu bar. I have mine next  to the Help menu. Click the Close button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Add a file name to the Work menu by opening a document and choosing <em>Add to the <\/em><em>Work Menu<\/em>. When you&#8217;re ready to open the document again, click <em>Work<\/em> and select its file name from the  list.<\/p>\n<p>Removing a file name from the menu is a pain. Remember, this is an undocumented  feature; I&#8217;m convinced that, at this point, the developers gave up. In your  version of Word, there may be a Remove Menu Shortcut short, horizontal black  line on the Work menu. Click it and the line will follow your cursor&#8211;and the  Work menu will close. Reopen the Work menu, put the enlarged hyphen on the file  name that you want to remove, and click it.<\/p>\n<p>If the Remove Menu Shortcut isn&#8217;t on your work menu, press Ctrl-Alt-Hyphen  (use the hyphen key next to zero at the top of the keyboard, not the minus sign  on the numeric keypad), open the Work menu, and follow the steps above. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Warning:<\/strong> That big hyphen can delete <em>any<\/em> menu command you click&#8211;not just an  item on the Work menu. So if you accidentally press this key combination and  change your mind about deleting an item, press <em>Esc<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of things to know: The Work menu shows document shortcuts, so if  you move the doc, the menu item is toast. You&#8217;re limited to nine entries and  you can&#8217;t sort the list. There, I gave you something to complain about.<\/p>\n<p>Some of you made the move to Word 2007, probably under duress. The Work  menu is incorporated into the Recent Documents list&#8211;you can pin docs onto it  so they don&#8217;t scroll off the list (just click the little pushpin icon next to a  file name). <\/p>\n<p><strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" name=\"take\" id=\"take\"><\/a>Take Control of Your Formatting<\/strong><br \/>\n    Let&#8217;s say you have a handful  of words scattered throughout a document that you want to make bold or maybe  italicized. You could grab a glass of wine and spend a couple of hours changing  each individually. <\/p>\n<p>A better bet is this  not-very-obvious trick: Hold down the Ctrl key and highlight individual words,  then apply the formatting. You can do this with sentences or paragraphs too. My Copy Editor Kim assures me it works fine  in 2007.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.techbite.com\/images\/wordformat.jpg\" height=\"146\" width=\"565\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Change the formatting on bunches of words using the  Ctrl key trick.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" name=\"s\" id=\"s\"><\/a>Snappy Toolbar Changes<\/strong><br \/>\n    You ever want to move a  toolbar button in Word 2003? There&#8217;s a quick trick: Hold down the Alt key and  drag the button to its new location. You can copy a toolbar button just as  easily by holding down Alt and the Ctrl keys, and then dragging the button to  its new location. Alas, these snappy changes won&#8217;t work in 2007. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aweber.com\/b\/1wiyQ#h\" target=\"blank\">Learn about the other Killer Word Tricks Here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>TechBite&#8217;s columnist Steve Bass and PC World Contributing Editor publishes a free weekly newsletter with commentary on the technology products he loves, the strategies for getting the most out of them,and the gotchas that can cause computing misery.
