I had to use Word lately extensively (for writing my thesis or pretending to do so ... )

Windows best shortcuts revised

various sources
This material has been copied from various sources so no offence!
ALT + TAB
Move between active applications.
WINKEY + M
This will clear your desktop in an instant by minimizing all active applications.
WINKEY + E =
Opens explorer windows with the folder sidebar enabled
WINKEY + D
This will also clear your desktop, however if you press WINKEY + D once more the applications will reappear.
WINKEY + L
This will lock the computer; you will still have to unlock it by pressing CTRL+ALT DELETE.
WINKEY + F
This will open the search assistant.
WINKEY + R
This will open the RUN command prompt.
WINKEY + B
Sets focus on the task bar, you can navigate by using the arrow keys; press ENTER to open one of the applications. You can't really see which icon is selected, but just wait a moment and the application info text will appear. If you press TAB the focus will be set on the desktop.
----
The following shortcuts will work in almost any office application environment; I am especially pleased to use them when I browse the web.
CTRL + O (CTRL + L)
This will open the location field. In Internet Explorer you can use this to type in a web address.
CTRL + N
This will open a new application window, either an empty window or a clone.
In Internet Explorer the new window will show the same URL. So it is useful if you want to maintain the old browser window, and not having to leave the keyboard to open another browser window.
CTRL + TAB
Use this short cut to move between tab panes, use CTRL + SHIFT + TAB to move in reverse order.

Regular Expressions (POSIX)
. Any single character.
[ ] Any one of the characters in the brackets, or any of a
range of characters separated by a hyphen (-), or a
character class operator (see below).
[^] Any characters except for those after the caret "^".

\> The end of a word.
\t The tab character.
\f The page break (form feed) character.
\n A new line character, for matching expressions that span
line boundaries. This cannot be followed by operators

the end of a line. It's much more efficient to use "$".

( ) Groups a tagged expression to use in replacement
expressions. An RE can have up to 9 tagged
expressions.
* Matches zero or more preceding characters/expressions.

characters or expressions.
{min,max} Matches between min and max of the preceding
characters or expressions.
| Matches either the expression to its left or its right.
\ "Escapes" the special meaning of the above expressions,
so that they can be matched as literal characters.
[:alpha:] Any letter.
[:lower:] Any lower case letter.

[:alnum:] Any digit or letter.
[:digit:] Any digit.
[:xdigit:] Any hexadecimal digit (0-9, a-f or A-F).

[:token:] Any of the characters defined on the Syntax page for the
document class, or in the syntax definition file if syntax
highlighting is enabled for the document class.
Replacement Expressions
& Substitute the text matching the entire search pattern.
\0 to \9 Substitute the text matching tagged expression 0 through
9. \0 is equivalent to &.

\n Substitute a newline.
\p Substitute the contents of the clipboard.
\t Substitute a tab.

This assumes you installed NSIS with default settings if not search the makensis.exe and apply its path:
Add new DOS commad:
Parameters:"C:\Program Files\NSIS\makensis.exe" /V4 $FileName
Initial Folder:$FileDir
check: Save All Documents first
check: Capture output
Regex to match output:
^.+in script "(.+)" on line ([0-9]+)[.,]?
Registers:
File 1 Line 2

REM This tool makes a complete backup of all your TextPad settings
REM in the Windows Registry.
REM The area of useage is quite wide. You can make custom "workspaces"
REM trough launching different .reg-files. Also, you may set the "prompt for parameters"
REM checkbox in textpad. Also, "Capture output" & "supress until..." sould be checked.
REM
REM In the "Parameters" textfield you can type in the deafult name for a
REM backup. ex: "texpad.reg" or "c:\textpad.reg"
REM
REM As the "initial folder" you can type in a default value, leave it blank or use $FileDir

HOW TO TRAP RUN TIME ERRORS IN PERL

Use Error.pm ;
#or
#overload your own AUTOLOAD function per class so that
#it will shout at you whenever non existing method is called

sub AUTOLOAD {
my $name = our $AUTOLOAD;
*$AUTOLOAD = sub { print "I see $name(@_)\n" };
goto &$AUTOLOAD; # Restart the new routine.
}

blarg(30); # prints: I see main::blarg(30)
glarb(40); # prints: I see main::glarb(40)
blarg(50); # prints: I see main::blarg(50)
