how to use the short cut keys in ms word

Remember Shortcut Keys


You may know about keyboard shortcut keys in Word 2003, the special keystrokes that let you perform operations without having to click on toolbar buttons or menu items. For example:

CONTROL-S: Save the current document
CONTROL-P: Print the current document
CONTROL-B: Toggle Bold text
CONTROL-I: Toggle Italic text

How can you remember all of these? Here is a way you can have Microsoft Word 2003 show you the shortcut keys for any given toolbar button (if they exist):

1. Choose "Tools", then "Customize".
2. When the "Customize" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, choose "Options".
3. Check "Show shortcut keys in Screentips".
4. Press "Close".

Now, if you move your mouse over the Spelling and Grammar toolbar button (it looks like the letters "ABC" over a checkmark), Word tells you that you can press F7 to activate this feature.
