Top of the Tips: Our Top 5 DigiTips from 2024/25 🏆

Before we move into the new academic year and into a new batch of DigiTips – weekly blogpost to highlight a useful tip that you can use to make your daily digital life easier – let’s look back on our most popular DigiTips from 2024/25! 

  1. DigiTip 34: Make MS Teams chats easier to read with bullet points 💬 

Have you ever been in an MS Teams meeting where you’ve needed to send a quick list that’s easy for others to read? There are actually two quick ways to create bullet points or numbered lists in any MS Teams chat. 

  1. DigiTip 36: Use Outlook reactions to respond to an email 👍🎉 

There may be times when someone has sent you an email, and you’d like to acknowledge its receipt without sending another reply. A great feature to use in this case is the reactions feature in Outlook, which works similarly to those in MS Teams or on various social media platforms. 

  1. DigiTip 42: Refine your search results with filters in MS Teams 🔎 

Teams has a useful search function, but it can sometimes produce too many results. To save you unnecessary time searching, you can utilise filters. 

These filters allow you to search using specific criteria such as date, sender, and file type, helping you to quickly pinpoint the information you need! 

  1. DigiTip 45: Shift+F3 is on the case! A capitalisation shortcut ⌨ 

If you have ever begun writing a sentence and realised, you were in the wrong case – this DigiTip is for you! Did you know that you can change the case of your word in Office 365 by selecting the text and then using Shift + F3? 

  1. DigiTip 49: Interesting Graphs in MS Excel 📈 

Do you want to add interesting ways of presenting your data in MS Excel? DigiTip 49 can help with that by introducing Sparklines. Sparklines are small graphs that only take up one cell in an excel sheet and are an effective way of presenting data without having a graph that takes up a whole sheet.
