+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | You can finally print a document (or rather, save it) as PDF without using a third-party utility using Microsoft' | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | This makes it much easier to save and distribute documents that aren't easily modified. Another long overdue feature makes it in under the radar. | ||

+ | Keyboard shortcuts | ||
+ | Here are some keyboard shortcuts you may want to be aware of -- ones that will really help your daily workflow: | ||

+ | |||
+ | just right click on the Start button on the bottom left of the screen and choose it from the pop-up menu, or type Control Panel | ||
+ | |||
+ | in the Search bar at the bottom left in the taskbar. When you right-click the Start button, you'll see all kinds of useful things there, | ||
