Microsoft Word has a lot of in-built shortcuts that you can evoke without clicking your mouse buttons several times. If you keep your eyes open, you'll see a lot of them listed right next to the menu commands you click on several times a day ! (e.g. Instead of clicking on "File" and then clicking on "Open", all you need to do is press the keys "Ctrl" and "N" to open a New file.)

Here are some of the important keyboard shortcuts you can use to get things done in Microsoft Word. It may look like a lot to remember, but try your hand at one group at a time. As you start using them, you will find that you save a considerable amount of time as you no longer need to take your hands off the keyboard and reach for the mouse every few seconds. Go ahead and try it ...

Note : "+" sign denotes that the keys on either side need to be pressed simultaneously, and F1, F2, etc. denote the function keys on the top line of your keyboard.
