Quite often, I receive e-mails requesting complete lists for keyboard shortcuts.
Unfortunately, I never really have one. Most of the lists I put in the newsletter are ones I compile from a variety of references.
And, to be quite honest, I wasn't too worried about a "whole" list, because most people I've worked with have difficulty learning that much material all at one time.
But, I've stumbled upon a way to get MS Word to make a full list, so for those of you who really want the "complete" list of keyboard shortcuts, this one is for you!
In all versions of Word, you'll need to begin with an open blank document.
For those of you with older versions of Word, you need to go to the Tools menu, Macro submenu, Macro choice (or Alt + F8).
If you're running Word 2007, you need to click the Macro button on the Developer ribbon. (If you don't see the Developer ribbon, go to the Office button, Word Options button and in the Popular section, check the "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon" and click OK).
No matter which version you're running, we're all looking to choose Word commands under the "Macros in:" field in the Macros dialogue box.
From the list that appears in the Macro name: field, you need to select ListCommands.
Next, cialis sale click Run.
When the List Commands window opens, choose either "Current menu or keyboard settings" or "All Word commands." (I've made both of these lists. The "All Word commands" choice produced a much longer list that contained all the commands, even if there wasn't a keyboard shortcut to list. A good portion of the 42 pages had no shortcuts for me to use. As a result, I whole heartedly recommend you choose the first option).
When you've made your choice, click OK.
You will be returned to your document and Word will create a table of your shortcuts.
The first column is the command name.
The second column (titled "Modifiers") is the combination of Alt, Ctrl and Shift that you will need to use with the key listed in the third column.
The last column is the menu where the command can be located in Word.
That's it!
You can save and/or print the document as a reference tool.
One last thought: for those of you who may be overwhelmed by such a long list, never fear. I'm positive you'll still find smaller, more manageable lists included in this newsletter from time to time!
