Are you someone who prefers the mouse or the keyboard?
When chatting with a client recently they raised their frustration at having to continually take their hands off the keyboard to use the mouse when working on a Word document – so I put together this little cheat sheet for them for some of the most common tasks.
You can use them individually, or combine as many as you wish like this (CTRL+ CTRL+I CTRL+U) 
| To complete this action |
Shortcut keys (to stop just select the same keys again) |
| Type in Bold | CTRL+B |
| Type in Italics | CTRL+I |
| Type in Underline | CTRL+U |
| Copy selected text or object | SHIFT+► to select, then CTRL+C |
| Paste selected text | CTRL+V |
| Undo last action | CTRL+Z |
| Redo last action | CTRL+Y |
| Move to the beginning of the document | CTRL+HOME |
| Move to the end of the document | CTRL+END |
| To move to the end of an existing Word document on opening |
SHIFT+F5
|
| To open a new Word document | CTRL+N |
| To open an existing Word document | CTRL+O |
| To save a Word document | CTRL+S |
