Below are some Keyboard shortcuts that should speed up your work when using a word processor.
* Ctrl+A selects all items. (Hold down the Ctrl key and
then press the A key.)
* Ctrl+C copies anything that you have selected.
* Ctrl+V pastes your most recently saved object to
wherever your mouse cursor appears. (Here's an easy way
to remember this shortcut: Imagine that the V is an
"insert here" caret.)
* Ctrl+X cuts any selected text.

Edit, Undo with your mouse!)
Even if you’re the sole user of your Mac most of the time, you may want to activate the Multi-user option. By doing that you can password protect your machine without having to buy third party software. You can also turn on the appropriate global options that allows your machine to automatically “lock-down” after it has been idle for awhile
