Tech Tip: Four “Must Know” Macintosh and Windows Keyboard Shortcuts
Windows Tips:
Tip #1: Quickly view the desktop: Press the Windows key (to the left of the spacebar) in combination with the M key, and you will be taken back to the desktop without having to minimize all of your open windows.
Tip #2: Copy text formatting: When using Microsoft Word, Control+Shift+C copies the formatting of highlighted text. Next, highlight the text area where you would like to apply the formatting, and then press Control+Shift+V. (On a Mac, use the Command key instead of Control).
Mac Tips:
Tip #1. Use Click + Spacebar to quickly preview files: On the Mac desktop or in a window, click once to highlight a file name, then tap the spacebar once. This gives a quick document preview without opening the program. If you select multiple documents by Shift- clicking on each item, then tapping the spacebar, you get a slideshow. Tap the spacebar again to close. (Mac OS 10.5 and above)
Tip #2. Press Command + (Command key and the “plus” key) to quickly enlarge the items on a Web page in Safari, Chrome, or Firefox.

There are two popular survey tools that I am aware of. Survey Tool and Survey Monkey, although both are good programs. Survey Tool does have a more user friendly interface.
