Can I make my own keyboard shortcuts for commands I use the most in Word for Windows?
All recent versions of Microsoft Word allow you to assign your own custom keyboard shortcuts for the commands you use most frequently. The steps vary based on the version of Word you are using.
Microsoft has a step-by-step guide for Word 2012, as well as for Word 2007 and Word 2003; an online tutorial for that version is also available. The company also has a list of all the default keyboard shortcuts in Word, in case the ones you need already exist within the program.
If you do not want to print out a Web page full of keyboard shortcuts to keep as a reference, you can make an easier-to-read list right from Word. Microsoft has instructions for making a printable list of all Word shortcuts on its site.
