Appendix A. Keyboard Shortcuts
This section presents a comprehensive list of all the keyboard shortcuts built into Microsoft Word 2010. The list has been excerpted from Word Help and formatted in tables for convenient lookup. Some of these shortcuts might not be available for your edition of Word 2010 or for your keyboard layout.
Creating Custom Keyboard Shortcuts
If a command you use frequently doesn’t have a built-in keyboard shortcut, you can create one from the Customize Ribbon page of the Word Options dialog box. To create a keyboard shortcut:
Click the File tab to display the Backstage view, and then in the left pane, click Options.
In the left pane of the Word Options dialog box, click Customize Ribbon.
To the right of Keyboard Shortcuts at the bottom of the dialog box, click Customize.
The Customize Keyboard dialog box opens.
In the Categories list, click Home Tab, and then in the Commands list, click Bold.
In the Current Keys box, Word displays the keyboard shortcuts already assigned to the Bold command.
Scroll down the Commands list, and click DecreaseIndent.
This command has no built-in keyboard shortcut.
Click in the Press New Shortcut Key box, and then press Ctrl+D.
Under the Current Keys box, Word tells you that this keyboard shortcut is already assigned to the FormatFont command.
Press the Backspace key (not Delete) to clear the Press New Shortcut Key box, and then press Alt+D.
Under the Current Keys box, Word tells you that this keyboard shortcut is currently unassigned (unless you have already assigned it to a different command).
If you want to assign this keyboard shortcut to the current document, not all documents based on the current template, display the Save Changes In list, and click the document name.
Click Assign.
Assign the keyboard combination Alt+I to the IncreaseIndent command.
Close the Customize Keyboard dialog box, and click OK in the Word Options dialog box.
