Windows 7 Sticky Notes keyboard shortcuts
The new Sticky Notes in Windows 7 can be useful, but might seem a bit plain. However there are features behind the scenes!
Sticky Notes has some very keyboard shortcuts and this little article will tell you, e.g. how to..
- Change font size in Sticky Notes
- Make a bulleted or numbered list in Sticky Notes

Basically Sticky Note texts are managed just like any other text tool. Just mark the piece of text you with to change, and apply the change.
As mentioned, Sticky Notes use keyboard shortcuts. Some commands change depending on your keyboard language and button setup.
