Shortcuts in MS Word 2007

Ever wondered what is the short cut key for a particular operation while working on MS Word?

The New Microsoft Office 2007 solves this problem to an extent. The available shortcut keys can be accessed by pressing and holding the ALT key. Gray boxes containing letters or numbers will appear on the screen beside the menus and Quick Access toolbar buttons.

Next, press the key corresponding to a command or menu. For example, to access commands on the Office menu, press F.

When the menu opens, gray boxes with letters or numbers will appear next to commands. By pressing the corresponding key, a command can be executed or a sub-menu can be accessed. Once you’ve memorised the keys for a particular command, you can press the keys in rapid sequence.
