WORD Change specific text formats quickly

-

Word offers many options to format your text quickly. The most popular method is to simply select all text within a document (by pressing Ctrl+a), then change its format using the options in the Font section of the Home tab.

One alternativ­e for more nuanced formatting is to select all text that uses a specific format, then change this to whatever you want. Say, for example, you want to change all the headings in your document that are currently bold. You can quickly select and format all bold text in one go, without having to change each instance individual­ly.

Select the first instance of bold text in your document. Next, click the Select dropdown menu in the Editing section of the Home tab, then click ‘Select Text with Similar Formatting’. All the bold text in your document will now be selected. Using the Font section in the Home tab you can now format this text however you want.

By default, whenever you copy and paste text into a document from somewhere else (such as another Word document or your browser), it appears in its original format. You can change this so that any text you paste from another program automatica­lly adopts the formatting of the document you’re pasting it to. To do this, click the File tab, Options, then Advanced on the left-hand side. Next, scroll to the ‘Cut, Copy and Paste’ section. Change the dropdown menus to Merge Formatting (see screenshot), then click OK at the bottom.

Move songs from iphone or ipad to PC

While itunes lets you transfer songs from your PC to your phone or tablet, it doesn’t allow your music collection to transfer from your device to your PC. Mediamonke­y has no such limitation­s.

First connect your ipad or iphone to your PC with your charging cable. Mediamonke­y will recognise the device and it will appear in the media menu (in the left-hand panel). Click its name, then Music to see a list of all songs on your Apple device. Select the tracks you want to copy and right-click Auto-organize Files. In the window that opens, choose ‘Copy files to new destinatio­n based on track tags’, then set the location where you want your selected tracks to copy to. Make sure that the ‘Add copied files to the Library’ box is ticked so that the new tracks are added to your Mediamonke­y library, then click OK. You will now see the copy process run at the bottom of the Mediamonke­y window.
