Following on from the post earlier today about inserting comments in Microsoft Word, someone asked whether it’s possible to create a comment bank in Word. When marking lots of papers in digital format - which is good because it’s quick and saves lots of paper - this would save you from having to retype frequently used comments umpteen times.

Did you know you can add comments to students’ (or colleagues’) Word documents, both in text and voice format?
Here’s a list of ways to save time when using Microsoft Word (and many of the hints work for other Office programs as well). If you spend a little bit of time practicing and learn by heart a number of these keyboard shortcuts, you can significantly increase your efficiency working with Office programs (and Windows in general), as you don’t have to move your hands off the keyboard to click with the mouse the whole time.
How many of these tips and tricks do you know?
