Here are some more handy shortcuts for speeding up your workflow in Microsoft Word or Excel. While two of our tips here today are program-specific, the first one is a crossover, and will work in either program.
F4: Repeat last action
To repeat the last action that you took in Word or Excel, you need to use the F4 key. For example, if you changed the font of a paragraph, you can change another section of text to the same font just by highlighting your new section of text and hitting F4.
Ctrl + Enter: Enter the same text into Excel cells at the same time
