Ctrl+T	Strike through
Ctrl+U	Underlined text
Ctrl+Shift+L	Bulleted (press once) or Numbered (press twice) list
Ctrl+Shift+>	Increased text size
Ctrl+Shift+<	Decreased text size
Ctrl+A	Select all
Ctrl+Shift+A	Toggles all caps
Ctrl+L	Left aligns text
Ctrl+R	Right aligns text
Ctrl+E	Centers text
Ctrl+Shift+L	Small Alpha list (3rd), Capital Alpha list (4th), small roman (5th), Capital roman (6th)
Ctrl+Scroll Wheel	Increase/Decrease text size
Ctrl+1	Single-space lines
Ctrl+2	Double-space lines

Ctrl+Shift++	Superscript

How do I format sticky notes in Windows 7

Hello Arthur,

To change the default font format of the sticky notes, all you have to do is cut and paste the text into another word editor for instance ms word or word pad and then change to the font you want while there.

When you cut and paste the text back to the sticky note it will take the font it was in while in ms word or the word pad.

If you need to:

• make the fonts bigger – simply press ctrl + shift + > on your keyboard.
• make the fonts smaller – simply press ctrl + shift +< on your keyboard.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Carl
