Editing Sticky Notes for Windows 7

This day seem so dull. Everything had been so routinary. So, to spice up my day, I decided to personalized my office computer's desktop stuff.

I have resized and rearranged my desktop icons. Deleted some unuseful shortcuts. Changed my shortcut icons. Deleted unnecessary gadgets. Add some more gadgets. And finally come sorted my sticky notes into done and still to be done. And then I just noticed, my sticky are all dull. All of them have these same dull font style and font size. And then it hit me, could I ever personalize these?







I searched through the web and voila I succeeded personalizing them.

I guess what I learned was ultimately worth sharing, so here they are:

Keyboard Shortcut Description
Ctrl+B Bold text
Ctrl+I Italic text
Ctrl+T Strikethrough
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+5 Set 1.5-line spacing
Ctrl+= Subscript
Ctrl+Shift++ Superscript
Ctrl+Z Undo
Ctrl+Y Redo
Ctrl+X Cut
Ctrl+C Copy
Ctrl+V Paste
Ctrl+N New sticky note

To change to font styles and size, just open a word document, change the font style and size and copy and paste them as is to the sticky note.

Super easy right?

Now you could set fonts bold, color them red, so you could eye URGENT matters easily.

If you know other keyboard shortcut aside from those listed from above, do let me know! :)
