[Win7 Tip] Some more Sticky Notes tip goodness

I love it when I post some handy tip and other come along and add even more tip goodness. This is what happened after I posted my last tip for the new Sticky Notes in Windows 7 which saw a reader named ‘yel’ leave a comment with a whole slew of handy keyboard shortcuts.

I went through them and while some are the typical Windows type of keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C etc) there were some that were really neat. So without further ado here is some more keyboard shortcut goodness for your Sticky Notes.

Ctrl + Shift + A – this will capitalized the highlighted letters if they are normal case or visa-versa.
Ctrl + r – will right align the current and following lines of text
Ctrl + e – will center align the current and following lines of text
Ctrl + l – will left align the current and following lines of text
Ctril + t – will strikethrough the current and following line of text
Ctrl + 1 – single line space
Ctrl + 2 – double line space
Ctrl + 5 – 1.5 line space

[Win7 Tip] Change font size in Sticky Notes

Back in April while I was still planning the rebranding and subsequent re-launch of WinExtra I was still writing a bunch of Windows related stuff at what has become Shooting At Bubbles (most of which will be moved here). One of the more popular posts was the one I wrote lamenting some of the deficiencies of the Sticky Notes app in Windows 7.

Well today that post paid off in one sense in that someone was good enough to post a great tip when it comes to using Sticky Notes. While we still can’t change the font being used other than via cut and pasting of text we can now at least change the font size

The way you do this is as follows:

Ctrl + Shift + > makes the font bigger
Ctrl + Shift + < makes the font smaller

And that’s it

Enjoy.
