Useful+Keybord+Shortcuts+for+MsWord

Hello Everyone!

I'm sure that all of you have, at one point or another, worked on a Microsoft Word document. Ms Word gives its users a variety of abilities to personalize and standardize documents to best fit the situation. It has recently occurred to me that most of the options that you choose to use can be easily utilized by minor key strokes on the keyboard. Keyboard shortcuts minimize the productivity time by a few seconds and it helps the users by not forcing them to go back and forth across the ribbon to use a certain option. Some examples can be seen below:

Ctrl + B = **Bold** Ctrl + I = //Italics// Ctrl + U = __Underline__ Ctrl + A = Choose All (after highlighting the chosen text) Ctrl + X = Cut Ctrl + C = Copy Ctrl + V = Paste
