Useful Microsoft shortcuts included in MSWord

Ctrl p    print via the print popup window

Ctrl a    select all – within a document or within a folder

Ctrl s    save – worthwhile pressing whenever you stop working or when working on very complicated documents that are time consuming

Ctrl o    open a file

Ctrl n    begin a new file without using the new file menu

Ctrl z    undo whatever you just did

Ctrl x    cut out what ever is highlighted in preparation for paste

Ctrl c    copies whatever is highlighted in preparation for paste

Ctrl v    paste whatever is on the clipboard - text, picture, clipart, etc.

Ctrl b    bold the selection

Ctrl i     italicize the selection

Ctrl u    underline the selection

 

 

 

Notice the underlined letters on the toolbars. Alt + that letter will access that menu. Can be combined in a sequence to reach a desired location. *

 

Example:  Alt O F C will bring you directly to the text color selection menu

 

 

 

Possible User-defined shortcuts : Locate these via the tools > customize > keyboard menu. Select the category and the command you wish to create a shortcut key for. NOTE: there are others built into Word that you may want to try. These may also be changed if you do not use them and want the sequence available for something else.
