ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a potpourri of miscellaneous topics in Word and Excel. It contains a collection of useful operations for editing or formatting, or simply a shortcut to doing something. The chapter offers suggestions for customizing the keyboard for direct typing of math and Greek symbols. Microsoft operating systems continue to support full screen capture and current window capture via Print Screen and ALT+Print Screen key sequences. Drawing objects and pictures may be altered in size in Excel by dragging the edges to the desired size or by first activating the object and then using the Picture Tools FORMAT tab of ribbon bar. Many engineering situations arise in which tabulations or plots of a function are needed for uniform increments in the argument of function. This operation is very easy to perform in Excel by using the Fill Handle and dragging it. Copying a cell formula can produce different results depending on whether absolute cell references are used or not.
