Article: HOW TO FIND WORD'S SHORTCUTS.(Stars)(Column)

Byline: AL FASOLDT TECHNOFILE

I went to college with a guy who learned Spanish one word at a time. Every day he learned a new word.

At the end of each week, he'd test himself. If he had trouble remembering any of his new words for that week, he put them on the list of words he had to restudy the following week.

Sounds silly, right? But the important thing to know about this one-new-thing-a-day method is that it works. You're not taxing your brain, and you're minimizing all the time and effort it takes to learn something new.

I was reminded of my college pal when a reader asked me to recommend a book on Microsoft Word's shortcut keys.
