Basic keyboard shortcuts in Microsoft Word. Keyboard shortcut for saving a Word document

In a programme Microsoft Word there are a huge number of tools that allow you to change the text beyond recognition. Any of them can be found in the standard menus (version 2003 and earlier) or on the tool ribbon (version 2007 and later). But if you need a quick conversion of the document, then using the program's graphical interface makes you do unnecessary actions and waste time. Therefore, the developers have come up with combinations of hot keys or hotkeys to access the main functions using the keyboard.

Function keys

They are in the first row of the keyboard. They have inscriptions in the range F1-F12. Their functions are shown in the table below.

Action Description

Calls up help information for the program.

Window control

The first part of the Microsoft Word program that can be controlled by hotkeys is the window and interface. Button combinations that allow you to do this are summarized in the table below.

Description of the action to be performed

Ctrl+Shift+F6

Switch between open editor windows. The second combination jumps to the previously displayed window

Reduces the size of all open Word windows to the default size. Clicking again doesn't expand them.

Note: "system" means that the hotkey from Word can also be used in Windows.

File operations

The second function of hotkeys in the Microsoft Word editor is to operate with commands located in the "File" menu (all versions except 2007) and "Office" (Word 2007). These include:

Main key

Additional key

Allows you to close the document, but does not close the editor

Activates the "Preview" function

Hot keys in Word "Create Document", "Open", "Print" are universal for software packages of other developers.

Moving around the worksheet

Hotkeys in Word are also assigned to perform this task. They are used in conjunction with special keys located in the navigation block on the right side of the keyboard. The table shows their capabilities.

Text selection

The third use for hotkeys is the text selection operation. Her most famous command in Word is "Select All" (shortcut Ctrl + A). It selects all text in the document. But more often you need to select small fragments. Therefore, there are other combinations. Their list is given in the table below.

Unfortunately, other formatting tools are not connected to hotkeys in Word. To continue using the keyboard for formatting, you can add your own combinations or use alternative controls enabled by the Alt or F10 keys.

Symbols

Their library in the editor is quite large. Many symbols used in documents can be found in it. For example, the sign of the diameter. In Word, the hot key for it and other symbols is Alt + X, where X is the number of the desired character, which can be found at the bottom of the list window.

The table below lists the 10 characters with their embed codes.

Assigning individual hotkeys

As an example of how to use this feature, let's add the "Insert Rows Below" hotkey to Word, since it is not assigned by default. To do this, you need:


In this way, you can bind any tool that is present in Microsoft Word to keyboard shortcuts.

When working in a text editor, one of the most important conditions Dynamic work is the use of so-called hot keys, that is, the ability not to select a button or menu item with the mouse pointer, but to replace this method of giving commands to the program by pressing certain keys. Eliminating the need to switch from keyboard to mouse significantly improves speed and reduces distractions. Keyboard shortcuts in Word can be used for a variety of purposes, including inserting special characters - for some of them there are system shortcuts that can be changed, and for all the rest you can program the keyboard yourself. It is very simple and does not require any special skills or knowledge. As a rule, one, two or three modeling, command (ctrl, alt, shift) and one of the keys of the main or numeric keyboard block are involved in the key combination in Word.

How to quickly learn keyboard shortcuts for some commands

Keyboard shortcuts in Word for some commands can be viewed by hovering over the menu button and waiting a bit. After that, a "hint" will be shown with the name of the command, a combination of hot keys and a description of the command. For example, if you hover over the button with the letter "Zh" on the "Home" tab, a tooltip with the following text will appear: "Bold (Ctrl + B). Applying Bold Style to Selected Text. The notation in parentheses indicates that pressing two keys at the same time - ctrl and B - will change the formatting of the selected text fragment. It is worth noting that in the case when a letter is indicated, of course, the Latin alphabet is meant, therefore, in this case, you should not press the D / B key, but the B / I key.

The number of commands potentially used by the user of the application is so large that it is not necessary, and even impossible, to learn absolutely all combinations. In this article, we will focus on the most requested commands, as well as how to program the keyboard yourself.

Em dash and en dash

Both short and long dashes in Word are inserted by a key combination with a certain skill of work without any delay in typing.

These characters must be used in Russian-language texts according to the rules of Russian spelling, while the em dash is used mainly in professional book layouts intended for printing on paper, but even in such files, layout designers often use an en dash - it all depends on the graphics of the text and the selected font ( narrow type or poetic text with short lines does not imply a long character). A dash differs from a hyphen in that it is placed between words, and not inside compound words. Its graphical difference from a hyphen is that, firstly, it is longer, and secondly, in most cases it is surrounded by spaces (with the exception of recording time and space segments, for example: "Train Samara-St. Petersburg" (the first character here is a dash, the second is a hyphen), "In 1985-1987 he served in the ranks of the Soviet army").

The system (preset) combinations for these characters are as follows:

Em dash in "Word": keyboard shortcut alt + ctrl + num-. (The plus sign does not need to be pressed - it is only required when recording and means that the keys must be pressed simultaneously. Num- is the minus sign on the numeric keypad of the keyboard (located to the right of the alphabetic one). Check if this key block is enabled: the NumLock indicator should be on , the block itself is turned on by a key with the same name.)

Short dash in Word: ctrl + num- key combination.

The sequence of actions is simple. In order to insert an en dash or an em dash in the "Word" with a key combination, just put the cursor on the right place and press the keys at the same time. For both short and long (large) dashes in Word, the key combination can be changed - this is especially true for those who work on laptops, whose keyboard requires additional actions to turn on the number block. How to independently assign hot combinations is described in a special paragraph of this article.

Highlighting text fragments

Highlighting text in Word with a key combination, and not with a mouse, is especially convenient in three cases: when processing or typing on the keyboard is in progress and it is inconvenient to switch to the mouse, as this causes delays in work; when using a laptop that is not connected to a standard mouse, which is used instead Touchpad, precise work with which requires a certain patience and skills; when you need to gradually and accurately select lines while reading or studying the text.

The text is selected by simultaneously pressing the shift and one of the arrow keys. So, the right arrow will select the fragment located to the right of the cursor, and the down arrow will select the part of the line to the right of the cursor and the line below the cursor. You can also use the arrows to deselect: if you selected an extra character with the right arrow, press the left arrow, and this character will again be unselected.

To select a line to the end without resorting to repeated pressing of the right arrow, use the end key (end), and vice versa - the home key (home, beginning) while pressing shift will select the entire part of the line from the beginning to the cursor.

Using the shift and page down (page down) or page up (page up) keys, you can select large sections of text. Alternating these arrow keys will allow you to make volumetric and at the same time precise selections.

Select all

“Select all” in “Word” with a key combination is much faster than by long scrolling through pages with the left mouse button pressed. Selecting the entire text (file content) is required, as a rule, to copy it to another file or to delete it, but it is no less often necessary to format the entire text (apply the same settings to all document content at once).

To "select all" in "Word", the key combination will be very simple: ctrl + A ( English letter A, located on the same key as the Russian Ф). Switching to Latin is not required. To remember this combination, it is enough to understand that A is the first letter English word all (all).

This combination works not only in this text editor, but also in most other applications that involve working with text, such as browsers. If you need to copy the entire content of a web page, click on any area on the page and then press ctrl+A, all items will be selected.

The same goes for working with tables. If you need to select all cells, click on any area inside the table and press the keys, the entire table will be selected.

Non-breaking space

For professional text design, and even more so for book layout, it is very often necessary that words or characters within a paragraph be placed on the same line of the paragraph, and not on adjacent lines. For example, first of all, this concerns the writing of initials: they should not be torn off from each other and from the surname: for example, the initials L. S. should not be torn off (located on the previous line) from Vygotsky, the name should be located on one line, and do not carry over to the next. Secondly, deciphering of numeric characters and their abbreviations cannot be transferred to another line: for example, the number 1999 should not be torn off from the year (a very common layout error when the number is located at the end of one line, and the decoding (g.) - at the beginning next). Also, according to the layout rules, a dash cannot be separated from the previous word (the line must not begin with a dash). However, a text editor can arrange the characters in a line so that it is in these places - between initials or between a number and an abbreviation - that a line boundary will pass.

In all these and many other cases, trouble spot, where the line should not break, such a sign should be put that will combine the words into a formally single word that cannot be transferred to the next line. This is called "non-breaking space". In Word, the keyboard shortcut for it is ctrl + alt + space.

Often there is a need not so much for a non-breaking space, but for a space of a fixed size - for the neat design of paragraphs and for the prohibition of long empty spaces between words when text is aligned in width. In this case, the sign described above is also suitable, that is, for a short space in Word, the key combination ctrl + alt + space is also suitable. This technique is often used when designing headers or headers of a document, as well as when designing table cells.

Insert

One of the most frequent operations when working with Word documents is the transfer of fragments from one part of the document to another or to another document. It is much more convenient to initiate both the “copy” and “paste” commands in Word with key combinations than using the context menu. Select the desired piece of text and simultaneously press ctrl+C. What was selected will be placed by the program on the clipboard. Place the cursor in the place where you want to paste (in the same or in another file) and press ctrl + V - the last fragment you copied will be pasted.

This keyboard shortcut for both commands is almost universal for all applications, it can be used both in browsers and in other text editors, and many graphic editors, such as programs in the Adobe package, also support these shortcuts.

There are other key combinations in Word for these operations: Each of these options is convenient in its own way. The second of the described options can only be performed right hand- because of this, it seems to many preferable.

Document Search

One of the main advantages of working with an electronic text document is the ability to quick search words or any combination of characters, including non-printable ones. This allows you to quickly navigate in a new book when you need to quickly find or check information, and also significantly speeds up work with large text being edited or created. The button in the main menu is intended to call the search window, however, as in other cases, it is more convenient to call it using the keyboard. Finding any sign, combination of words or a single word in Word with a key combination is certainly much faster than being distracted by the mouse and looking for the corresponding button in the menu.

So, to open a window with a search string for the document, press ctrl + F. Enter the word you want to find in the search bar. Please note that the text editor is looking for a combination of characters, and not a lexical unit, that is, it will find, unlike the Internet search engine, only the form of the word that you entered.

This keyboard shortcut is also relevant for many programs: it can be used to search the page in browsers and in many other applications.

AutoCorrect

If your goals include not only search, but also automatic replacement found combinations, press ctrl+G, and the search window will open on the desired tab. Autocorrect in Word with a key combination is especially necessary if we are talking about the same type of editing a voluminous document. For example, in the entire document, you need to change the erroneous spelling of the name or swap the letters in the initials.

You can also repeat the action by pressing the F4 key.

Are there shortcuts for the accent mark?

For the accent mark in Word, the key combination as such is not provided.

Inserting an accent mark is a stumbling block for many Word users. Many fonts come with various accent-like diacritics, but many of them require additional formatting (for example, the accent can be inserted not above the letter, but between letters), and others have the wrong shape, the wrong size, etc. If in professional layout programs this problem is solved by setting kerning, then here the issue of inserting stress can be solved by assigning special hot keys to the character you like and once selected.

For example, for the diameter sign in Word, the key combination is also set in the same way for all. They can be assigned to absolutely any character.

Assigning and changing keys

Symbols in Word are assigned key combinations using the main menu. Go to the "Insert" tab and find the "Symbol" button on the left. Open it and select "More Symbols". A window will appear for inserting characters, managing them, and assigning keyboard shortcuts to them.

Select a font and then any character from the list of that font - click on it with the left mouse button. In the lower part of the window, you can see what system key combination this character has, if it exists: just find the words "keyboard shortcuts". If it does not suit you or if it is missing, you can assign keys to this character yourself.

Click on the "Keyboard Shortcuts" button and in the window that opens, find the "New Keyboard Shortcut" field. Put the cursor there and press the keys you want to assign. It can be two or three keys, and one of them must be ctrl or alt, you can add shift to them (one of them, without ctrl or alt, cannot be used as a basic modeling key) and any other key. After pressing, a record of the names of these keys should appear in the field.

The "Current Assignment" entry will remind you which command is assigned to those keys. For example, as mentioned above, the combination ctrl + V is a system command for the “paste” command. This always needs to be changed, but will it be convenient? Then the insert will also need to be assigned a new combination. And in this case, the habit developed while working with your computer can fail you if you work on a different machine.

You can also choose the accent mark you like in Word, the key combination is assigned in the same way, and then you no longer have to choose the right one among many similar characters - just remember the key combination once.

Special signs

On the Special Characters tab, you can see which keys are assigned to special punctuation marks that are not on the keyboard. These are, for example, a paragraph sign, an ellipsis, an em dash, a non-breaking space, a non-breaking hyphen, a copyright (copyright) sign, a trademark, etc. For some of them, the system may not assume predefined characters, and their insertion is possible only by selecting a character with the mouse. For another part, the combination may not be entirely convenient (for example, the keys may be located far apart on the keyboard, that is, they may be pressed with two hands) - in any case, any key combinations in Word can be reprogrammed.

Hotkeys not related to inserting characters

In addition to inserting or searching for specific characters, you can also assign keyboard shortcuts to almost any command. The need for this may arise, first of all, when you constantly use the same function and would like to optimize it. For example, when making text documents it is often necessary to change the size of characters (increase or decrease them), and it is extremely inconvenient to use the mouse and the menu button to do this.

In order to find out which keyboard shortcut corresponds to a particular command, you need to go to the Word settings. Click on the Office button (a round button with the Microsoft Office logo in the upper left corner) and in the menu that opens at the bottom, find the "Word Options" button. Next, in the list on the left, find "Settings". At the bottom of the window that opens, click "Keyboard shortcut: settings".

To find the command you are interested in, you need to understand how the window that opened is organized. On the left is a list with the names of the program tabs (main, insert, review, markup, etc.). If you select one of them, then a list of commands corresponding to this tab will be built on the right. If you select one of them, below you can find a description of each command. For example: tab "Home" - Command: ShrinkFont - Description: "Reducing the size of the character in the selection." The corresponding keys are registered in the "Keyboard shortcut" field: Ctrl + (. To change them to others (for example, in order to better remember or for some other purpose), put the cursor in the "New keyboard shortcut" field and press the desired one. Combination keys in Word for the selected command will change.

Thus, the Word application allows you to quickly find out which keyboard shortcut is programmed by default, as well as change any combinations to your own and set combinations for those commands that were not originally assigned keys. Install keyboard shortcuts gradually, as you work and as the need arises, and in this case there will be no problems with remembering and automating. If the need to use the command arises only from time to time, make a "cheat sheet" file with a list of pre-installed and assigned keys by you.
