Word's Keyboard Shortcuts
You can dramatically enhance your efficiency in working with Word by using the shortcut keys to accomplish different tasks.
From the human factors point of view, the shortcuts eliminate the procedure of moving your hand off the keyboard to grab the mouse and locate it carefully on the correct button and clicking and returning it back to the keyboard to keep on typing.
Using the shortcuts will feel a bit awkward at the beginning, and you might doubt the efficiency of using them. Believe me - after you remember them and you get accustomed to it, your work will get at least two times faster.
Here is a list of keyboard shortcuts in Word, arranged by subjects.
Note: The + (plus) sign means “Together with”, for example “Ctrl+S” means pressing the Ctrl key together with the S key.
