Handy hints - a really quick way to lock your PC
Most of us use the standard CTRL+ALT+DELETE to lock our PC when we leave our desk but did you know there's an even quicker method - press the Window button on your keyboard + l (lowercase L).
Legal handy hints - AutoText
If you regularly type the same text into documents you could set this up as an AutoText entry, this means that you can enter the text really quickly by type a single word (or even letter) and pressing Enter.
The easiest way to enter AutoText is to type the text into a document and select it and then save the entry to a shortcut key for later use.
After typing the text, select it, click the arrow beneath Quick Parts on the Insert tab and click AutoText.
Click the option 'Save Selection to AutoText Gallery'.
Enter a name for the entry (something that isn't too long and can be remembered easily), you can also enter some information about the entry in the Description field if needed and click OK.
To enter the text into any Word document, type the name of the entry (you should see a tooltip that displays the first part of the text after you start typing) and press Enter.

Legal handy hints - how to sort data in a Word table
Excel has always coped really well with sorting data and has been the preferred choice for a number of people but sometimes you may need to present the data differently and Word might be the best option. Data in Word can still be sorted, especially if it's been entered in a table.
To sort the data in a table you will need to select the entire table by clicking the four-headed that appears in the top left corner of the table when you hover over it.
Click the Home tab and click the Sort icon in the Paragraph section.
The Sort dialog box will be displayed. If your table contains headings, ensure that 'Header row' is selected in the My list has section - this will then populate each of the Sort by fields with the column headings.
Choose how you want each of the columns to be sorted e.g. Ascending or Descending and click OK.
