Use Keyboard Shortcuts in OpenOffice 4 on a MacBook Air
Edited by Thor, Crystal, Eng
Hello and welcome to VisiHow. Today I'm going to show you a number of keyboard shortcuts to use in OpenOffice 4 when using a Macbook Air.
Steps
1
I have an icon here, so I'm going to click that.
2
We're going to open a text document
.
3
Now we will show you some hotkey commands
.
I'm just going to write something in there to make a nice base which we can use to copy and paste and use other shortcuts on the keyboard.
4
The first keyboard shortcut I'm going to show you is to create a new document
.
We're going to use Command + N simultaneously. As you can see, it has opened up a new document.
5
We don't need it now, so I'm going to close it using a shortcut
.
Press Command + W.
6
Now, if we want to open a previously saved document, we can press Command + O
.
This brings up the saved documents folder and we can choose to open a document.
7
We can also save a document using Command + S
.
If you want to save a document you've named before, it's Command + S. If you want to save as, we can press Command + Shift + S. That will bring up the save as box.
8
The next shortcut is Command + A
.
This will select all.
9
As you can see all the words and text have been highlighted and now we can copy it if we want by pressing Command + C
.
If we want to paste it, we can use Command + V.
10
If we want to cut it we can press Command + X
.
Now it's cut. To paste again is Command + V.
11
If we want to undo an action, it's Command + Z
.
12
If we want to redo an action we can press Command + Shift + Z
.
13
If we want to repeat something, we can press Command + Shift + Y
.
That allows us to repeat the same sentence over and over again.
14
Next we will show you how to highlight, underline and write in italics
.
We can select it using Command + A, now we want to make it bold using Command + B.
15
We can deselect that by pressing Command + B again
.
16
We can underline it by pressing Command + You
.
17
If we want to make it italics we can use Command + I
.
Now it's been made into an italic style.
18
We can also reposition the text according to which part of the page we want it to be on
.
We can press Command + R, which will move it to the right.
19
Command + E will move it to the middle
.
20
Command + L will move it to the left
.
21
Command + J will justify it, but it's already in the correct position
.
22
That is all of the shortcuts we can use
.
