What is the most common used keyboard shortcut?

It depends on what the computer is being used for. For general typing of letters of essays, "Space" or "e" are probably the most used. For a gaming computer "w" (walking forward in most games) is often the most used key by a large margin, followed by "a", "s", and "d" (left, backwards, and right is the WASD control setup). Computers that run other specific programs a lot might have another key, such as "Enter" that is used the most because it is associated with a specific function.

Ctrl-Z will undo the auto-correction.

Why is it more advantageous to use a header or a footer to insert page numbers?

Because your pages will be automatically numbered, no matter how many pages you have in the document and what changes you make. There are also extra facilities available, like giving the total of the pages in the document. Again this can be calculated automatically, so you do not have to worry about it or change it as the amount of pages in a document changes. You can also put a standard formatting on them and be sure they are in the same location on each page, or have their positions changing on odd and even numbered pages.

For example, say the folder "MyFolder$" lives on a server named "MyServer". If you want to map to "MyFolder$", you would type this in the folder name field of the "Map Network Drive" dialog:

\\MyServer\MyFolder$

How do you make a fraction in word?

You can use Edit, Insert Object, Equation Editor to create the fraction or...

If you want to go 'old school': edit, insert, field, scroll to eq.

In Word 2007, you'll find that under: Insert, quick parts, field..., scroll and select "eq" then click the field codes button. Click "Options" to see the wealth of eq switches you can use.

Then build the fraction by filling in EQ \F(abc,xyz). This will give you abc/xyz as a superimposed fraction. You can edit the code by right clicking on it and selecting "toggle field codes". If you accidentally double-left click on the code, you will immediately convert it to an Equation Editor object (sort of annoying)

The field, itself will appear as {EQ \F(abc,xyz) }but those are "magical" curly braces. You can't just type curly braces and make a field.

Caution, Fields are addictive! If you don't know how to use fields you are missing a good portion of Word's functionality. Also, you can independently format different parts of the eq field while you have the field toggled--for instance, you could make the numerator red and the denominator blue.

You can also, the easy way, in word 2007 click insert, click equations, and then click fractions.
