Shortcuts to Success: Switch a Fill or Stroke to None

Sure, there are huge lists of InDesign keyboard shortcuts out there, but are you going to sit down and memorize them all? We're here to help you learn some handy new ones, one by one, making it easier to add them to your mental list. Each week, we'll highlight a different shortcut to help you work faster, better and smarter.

SPD-U SHORTCUT OF THE WEEK

Apply the Color "None"

If you want to remove the color from a selected object, first click the fill or stroke box in the Swatches or Tools Panel, and then type / (forward slash). As with any single character shortcut, this won't work with live type.
