Own an iPhone, but working on a Mac and you need to input data provided on a printed sheet? You don’t need to conduct this task manually anymore - just use the Data from Picture tool to photograph the data using your iPhone, use OCR to convert it and automatically place it in the relevant part of your Excel spreadsheet.
With the text selected, open Edit>Clear>Clear Formatting.
Tap the handy but eternally forgotten Remove Formatting tool – look for the letter A with a tiny pink eraser icon masking the right-hand foot of the A. To get rid of that formatting and return to nice crisp text, just select the copy and either: You take text from another document or website and find that you’ve imported formatting you just don’t need. Or click thrice to select the text in an entire paragraph. Click twice to select the entire word you just clicked. Click once to enter the cursor in a section of text. I suspect more people don’t know about or use this than those who do when selecting text: It's so much faster than writing your words and then amending their placement. The cursor magically appears where you need it to be and you can begin writing in that alignment (left, right, center). Double-click the blank area in your document in which you want your text to go – left, right or center of the page.
Want to pop something into your document that’s aligned differently than the rest of it? Perhaps you’re writing a letter and want to center a line of text in an otherwise left aligned document? This tip lets you place the text in your chosen alignment immediately, so you don’t need to select it and assign alignment subsequent to writing. It takes me directly to my most recently edited word in a document, or the section I was working on when I last saved a document once I’ve opened it again.
You can also tap View in the document menu and select Navigation Pane in the third from left grouping of options.Ī document browser appears to the left that offers thumbnails of all your document pages, including the page you’re currently on. Choose View>Sidebar in the application menu and check the Navigation Pane item in the third set of items. The Navigation Pane helps you navigate lengthy or complex documents, but many users aren’t aware it exists. This one tool makes a huge difference when it comes to figuring out how to get tasks done. While you may need to change your query to get precisely what you need, you will eventually see the answers to your question appear in real time.
