I know this answer seems to be implied in the question, but I think it's the best answer and should be listed (the fact that other answers even are given implies that it is being overlooked). [Command + P] followed by [Esc] Advantages: • This is faster than the select-all method (same number of commands, fewer keys) • Fields in headers and footers are also updated (not accomplished by select-all method) So in conclusion: no, there's no specific single shortcut to update all fields, and the alternatives are not superior to [Command + P] [Esc]. There is a button in Step 2 of the Mail Merge Manager that looks like an envelope with arrows pointing right and down. Its description says 'Fill in the items to complete your document.' While madly clicking because I was angry that there was no Update All Fields button, I discovered that this button does the same thing as Update All Fields.
My problem is that I forget that every time I have to use the software, which in my case is only a few times per year. I'll keep my Microsoft opinions to myself.:).
I add a lot of comments to the documents I edit in Word. How much mac n cheese for 100. And I finally went hunting for a keyboard shortcut for adding a comment balloon. It’s obscure and not listed on the tooltip for the ‘New Comment’ icon on the Review ribbon in Word 2007 (or later). And even looking for it in the Word Options > Customize > Keyboard Shortcuts area for the Review Tab was an exercise in ‘Huh?’ But I found it!
It’s Ctrl+Alt+M (that’s intuitive Not!) If you go looking for it yourself in the keyboard shortcuts list, you’ll find it under InsertAnnotation in the list of Review tab commands. I am SO glad to have found your blogtwo solutions I *desperately* needed today in less than 15 minutes!!! Periodically rolls out updates that require us to recreate all of our custom settings (and really, there are only a few of us who have them), and I couldn’t for the life of me remember what command I needed to set my own “insert a comment” kb shortcut — Thank you!!!!! Why DO they insist on breaking things that were just fine to begin with?) The other thing you helped me with today was the Styles pane. I do NOT have “Keep track of formatting” checked, and yet ALL of the direct formatting in this document was showing up in the Styles paneand I couldn’t find *anything* about getting rid of it. Your post about “Recommended” styles got rid of most of them — thank you!! And I just found another article about turning off “Paragraph level formatting” and “Bullet and numbering formatting”, also in the Style Pane Options dialog box.
