If you occasionally find yourself in a Word document or Excel spreadsheet applying the same formatting to different parts of the file, then F4 will come in handy as it repeats the last command.<\/p>\n
This is especially useful if the formatting you are applying is only accessible in a dialog box. Rather then opening the dialog box each time, just press F4. For instance, you might be applying custom borders to all the total rows in a large spreadsheet or turning on the Keep with Next option for many paragraphs in Word.<\/p>\n
F4 works in Word, Excel and PowerPoint and it repeats the last command, whatever it is. So you could use it to delete rows in an Excel spreadsheet, for instance.<\/p>\n
Sometimes as I am using F4 to apply formatting at various places in a larger document I’ll notice an error in the text. I’ll delete a few words to fix the problem or type something to improve the flow. Then I’ll go back to what I was doing and press F4 expecting it to apply formatting. Surprise! F4 repeats the very last command so it’ll delete or insert text, depending on what I did to fix the problem. Not a big deal, of course, as I can apply the formatting manually again and then use F4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
