Keyboard Shortcuts in Microsoft Word (all versions)
Ever wish you could keep your hands on the keyboard and have to rely less on using the mouse? Listed below are shortcuts using the Control + Shift keys in Word. If you're like us, not only might you not know all of the shortcuts, you might not even know it was possible to perform some of these functions at all! Each week copy a few selections from the list onto a sticky note and put it on your monitor to remind you to practice the key combinations. Before you know it, they'll be 2nd nature!
