Microsoft Word Keyboard Shortcuts

Posted on March 7th, 2008

A few keyboard shortcuts for Microsoft Word that might save you some time:

• Cntrl+T : Hanging indent (hit Cntrl+T again to increase the hanging indent; hit
• Cntrl+Shift+T to decrease/remove the hanging indent)
• Cntrl+= : Subscript (hit Cntrl += again to revert to the normal font)
• Cntrl+Shift+= : Superscript
• Cntrl+Shift+L : Start a bulleted list (this can also be accomplished by starting the sentence with an asterisk, assuming that this hasn’t been turned off using the AutoCorrect menu)



• Select an entire paragraph to change formatting or style: You don’t have to select the entire paragraph to change the paragraph’s formatting or style. Just click anywhere in the paragraph and choose the desired format or style. A good example is justification. Just click anywhere in the paragraph and then click the Align Left, Align Right, or Justify button on the Standard toolbar.
• Select a table – Select a table by holding down [Alt] and double-clicking anywhere in the table.
