If you’re anything like me, your mind flowcharts medicine:

Coffee → ↑ Energy + ↓ Sleep → Goofiness → ↓ Productivity → Wasted Night of Studying

And often, you type this stuff into Microsoft Word. Often you do this a lot. But you don’t like the default arrow when you type –> in Word.

Solution.

1. In Word, go to Insert → Symbol
2. Under Font, choose Symbol.
3. Find the arrow you want (6th row down)
4. Click it, then select Shortcut Key.
5. Press the shortcut key you want (I use Ctrl-Alt Right Arrow Key, for example)
6. Click Apply.
7. Repeat for other arrows you want to use.
8. Click OK. Voila!
