I hate to waste time on anything…I am always looking for short cuts and tricks…so here are some that I use most often that I thought I would share with you!  (These are for PC users only)

Real Estate Virtual Assistant shares keyboard tips

• I hate scrolling to the top or bottom of pages to find the navigation links that I need…so I use the END and HOME keys on my keyboard instead.
• F5 will refresh your screen or browser window.
• F6 will put your cursor in the address bar in IE or Firefox.
• Do you use your right click on your mouse for Copy, Cut and Paste functions?  Sometimes it’s easier and faster to use CTRL + C (copy), CTRL + X (cut) and CTRL + V (paste) instead!  (and when working in certain canned real estate sites you run into trouble with pop up blockers, etc…and when your right click won’t work, the CTRL + short cuts usually will!
• Instead of highlighting text and going to the edit menus to make it BOLD or ITALICS, simply use CTRL + B (bold) or CTRL + I (Italic).
• To open your START menu just use CTRL + ESC.
• ALT + TAB to switch between open programs.
• ALT + F4 closes an open window.
• And my FAVORITE that I use all the time…because I always seem to mess something up…is the UNDO shortcut…CTRL + Z (Z – as in your last resort!  LOL).

I hope these work for you as well as they do for me – I use them all the time!  Time is precious, time is money…so save where you can!
