InDesign Tip- Shortcut for Outlines

My most used shortcut that people probably don't use is Command-Shift-O to create outlines. I'm sure people use the outlines function, but I'm all about shortcuts, so I found the shortcut a great time saver!

Say, for instance, you have this word "wait" that you want to be able to resize easily without wanting to have to go into font, and change the point size constantly.

Just select the type, hit command-shift-O. Now your type will be in outlines. 

Now if you want to resize it, all you have to do is hold down shift and drag it to your size!

Ta-Da!
