Microsoft Word shortcut keys

[ChrisUlrich]

Here's the short list of the best shortcut keys to know. If you learn only these key combinations, you're guaranteed to save time.

• Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V = Cut, Copy and Paste respectively. These work in virtually every Windows program. Learn them, use them, save LOTS of time and mousing around in the Edit menu.
  
  
• Ctrl+B = Apply Bold. Highlight text then click Ctrl+B...voila insto-bold.
  
  
• Ctrl+I = Apply Italic. Same idea as adding bold, except it adds italic instead.
  
  
• Ctrl+Y = Repeat the last action. Say you just added a row to a table. Click Ctrl+Y and add another one. Keep doing it and add a whole bunch of them.
  
  
• Ctrl+spacebar = remove all local formatting. If text looks weird, it could be because you accidently added something. It's also good consistency. You can make sure that the only formatting you're applying is the stuff you've set up in your styles.
  
  
• Shft+F3 = Toggles case. If you know people who type in all upper case, you have my permission to rip the Caps Lock key off their keyboard. In the meantime, use Shift+F3 to switch case from UPPER, lower, and Initial Caps.
  
  
• Ctrl+Home, Ctrl+End = Move to the top and bottom of a document, respectively.
  
  
• F8 + arrow keys = Select text. Sometimes selecting large bodies of text with the mouse is a big pain. Use F8 in conjunction with the arrow keys or Page Up and Page Down keys to select it more easily.
