Quickly jump from place to place in your document (Word 97/2000/2002/v. X/2003)
While revising a document, you'll eventually tire of reaching over to the mouse to scroll up and down. The familiar arrow keys, along with [Home], [End], [Page Up], and [Page Down], are handy, but there are other shortcuts that may better suit your needs.
If you'd like to quickly move to the top of a specific page, press F5 or [Ctrl]G ([command]G on the Mac). This opens the Go To dialog box, where you specify the page you want. You can also jump to a particular section, bookmark, table, or other object in the Go To dialog box. This shortcut is especially handy when you're dealing with a long document.
Use [Ctrl][Up Arrow] and [Ctrl][Down Arrow] to move to the previous or subsequent paragraph. Similarly, use [Ctrl][Left Arrow] and [Ctrl][Right Arrow] to move left or right in one-word increments. (On the Mac, use the [command] key in place of [Ctrl].)
To move to the beginning of a document, press [Ctrl][Home]. [Ctrl][End] takes you directly to the end of the document. Pressing [Ctrl][Page Down] and [Ctrl][Page Up] takes you to the beginning of the following page or previous page. (Again, on the Mac, use the [command] key in place of [Ctrl].)
If you edit one part of your document, and then move to another part of the document to continue editing, you can easily return to the previous place you were editing. To do this, press [Shift]F5 or [Alt][Ctrl]Z ([option][command]Z on the Mac). This command takes you to the last place you typed text, not necessarily the last place you clicked the mouse.
Export layers to separate files (Photoshop CS)
Most Photoshop documents are made up of many layers. Wouldn't it be nice if there was an easy way you could save the individual layers for use elsewhere? Well, there is! Simply choose File > Scripts > Export Layers To Files in your Photoshop document. In the resulting dialog box, enter a destination or click Browse to choose one. Next, specify your choice for a filename prefix and select the Visible Layers Only check box if you wish to only export the visible layers in your document. Now, select a format in the File Type pane. The format you choose depends on how you intend to use the files. Also, select the Include ICC profile check box if you want to embed a color profile in the files. Depending on your chosen file format, you may need to set additional options. For example, if you select the TIFF option button, the TIFF Options pane displays and allows you to select an image compression setting. After you make your selection, click Run to export the layers in your document. Depending on how many layers there are, the script may take awhile to run. When it's done, click OK in the resulting dialog box. Each layer in your document is now saved in a separate file.
