Shortcuts Microsoft Word for Windows

Windows

Hotkeys in Microsoft Word for Windows: All Mac's are especially useful for office workers who work with text documents every day. The program has many features, but users use only a certain part. And most often these actions are repeated. If you remember the basic combinations, the performance will increase. To use shortcut, you need to select a part of the text you work with. The rest of the shortcuts combinations apply to the program itself, not to the text. Some combinations require sequential pressing, others - simultaneous.
