#MICROSOFT WORD KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS PDF#
To download this list in PDF format, simply scroll to the bottom of this post. The great thing about many of the shortcuts I mention here is that they can be used in many of the different programs. So today I’m going to go through my favourite and the most efficient shortcut keys in Microsoft Word. Once you can memorise these combinations you will be working in a much faster and more efficient way.

I then reference these shortcuts throughout the day in the hope that by the time participants get back to their desk the next day, at least a couple of the shortcuts have stuck in their minds.įor the most part with keyboard shortcuts, I feel that the ability to keep your hands on the keyboard instead of having to move your hand to the mouse, locate the cursor on the screen, move to the location you want on the program window and click a button, is much more efficient in your daily routine. During any of my training courses, I spend a good slice of time at the beginning showing participants my favourite shortcut key combinations for the specific program we are looking at. If there is an option to do something faster in any of the Microsoft programs then I use it. You may have noticed that I’m a fan of efficiency. Today I am going to show you the best keyboard shortcuts for use in Microsoft Word.
