I do a lot of editing in Word and want to improve my efficiency.
What's the best way of moving to the place you want to edit, short of
using the search function?
As a former WordPerfect (DOS) user, I'm used to going straight to the
place I want to edit by using Control Arrows. If the place is closer
to the right margin, I use Control Up and Down arrows to locate the
paragraph, then use Control Left arrows from the right-end to zero in
on the location.
In Word, I'm hampered by the cursor stopping at every damn punctuation
marks (parentheses, commas, periods, colons, semicolons, hyphens) and
even characters (ampersands, @ signs, etc.). Is there any way to
bypass these so that I can move faster? In User Settings or
Preferences?
I know it sounds wonky, but every second counts at work and the
network is as slow as molasses. Why should this even qualify as a
default function in Word?
