Mouseless Font Control
You know, you go over to the mouse, click on the font name, scroll through the list until you find what you're looking for, click on the font name, you click on the font size scrollbar and so on. Get the idea? Did you hear all the clicks?
Want some keyboard shortcuts to get around the clicking nightmare?
Yes? Well, then read on!
First of all, let's address the font style.
To access the font type list, you'll need to use Ctrl + Shift + F.
This will highlight the current font name in the list and it will allow you to have control over the list using the keyboard.
You can scroll up and down with the arrows. You know, basically browsing your options the same as you would with your mouse.
Or, if you know the name of the font you're looking for, you can type in the name. But keep in mind, the spelling must be exactly correct and you must include the correct capital letters.
Or, if you know the name of the font, but not the correct spelling, you can just type the first letter of the name and it will take you to that part of the list. You can then use the arrow keys to find the correct font.
Whatever method you use to find the name of the font you're looking for, hit the Enter key when you're done.
Poof! Font changed.
Now, to move on to changing the font size.
To increase font size in increments, try Ctrl + Shift + > or Ctrl + ].
Decreasing the font size can be accomplished with Ctrl + Shift + <>.
These methods work well and are very efficient. The key combinations using <> will increase or decrease the font size, according to the sizes listed in the font size drop down list. The other combinations using [ and ] increase or decrease the font size one point at a time.
But, what about the times when you need to set a font like 14.5? (After all, who wants to be just like everyone else and use the regular font sizes? Let's be different!)
Can it be done?
Yes, it can! Simply use the key combination of Ctrl + Shift + P. This will highlight the current font size in the font size drop down list.
now, all you have to do is type the font size you'd like and hit the Enter key.

Question: What is the difference between a search engine and an answer engine?
Answer: A search engine (like Google, Yahoo!, etc.) will find Web pages that have your search term somewhere in their text. An answer engine will find Web pages that actually answer your question directly.
