On the keyboard for Microsoft word, could you list as many as you know?

I know the basics but if anyone has a list of all of them, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks

there are literally hundreds of shortcut keys you can use and if you have pre 2007 version, just click on office assistant type shortcut keys then you get the help menu up and you have them categorised as to formatting etc types. The best way to find your own shortcuts is to hold down the Ctrl key and tap the letter keys in turn and see what happens, then use Ctrl and Shift, then use a combination of Alt Shift, Alt Ctrl etc. Use a double click of the mouse here, there and everywhere and you will surprise yourself as to how there are so many quicker ways to get things done on your computer.
