Display Available Keyboard Shortcuts

Microsoft Word allows easy access to many of its features through keyboard shortcuts. For example, is used to make regular text bold and vice-versa. In addition, you can assign keyboard shortcuts to styles, macros and more.

However, it is not easy to remember all the shortcuts.

Microsoft Word provides a macro—named ListCommands—that generates a document with the keyboard shortcuts that are currently in use. You can print this document and refer to it as and when required.
