Keyboard Shortcuts for Word Document

Similar to Microsoft Excel, Word Document also has its own unique keyboard shortcuts that you can certainly use to simplify your life. No more wasting time in typing and formatting in word documents as long as you follow the 6 key shortcuts we introduced to you below. These keyboard shortcuts apply to any version of your Word Document, how nice right?



  1. CTRL+ENTER: A faster way to do "Page Break"
    When doing formatting, we tend to use Insert >> Page Break so that the rest of the paragraphs will go to the next new page. Now, you can simply use CTRL + ENTER keys to bring you to next new page, which saves you just a significant few seconds in clicking the mouse to do that.


  2. CTRL + +: Subscript
    CTRL + SHIFT + +: Superscript
    For instance, when you are typing a2 where you would like to make the "2" to be superscript, you can first highlight the "2" and then use the shortcut keys to make the "2" a superscript. Same thing applies to using subscript shortcut as well.


  3. Double Click Format Painter : Unlimited Use of the desired formatting
    Instead of repeating the step of clicking "Format Painter" each time when you want to format, now you can try this shortcuts by double clicking the Format Painter button so that it will repeat the same formatting until you click it once again to complete the formatting.

  4. ALT + SHIFT + D : Date Now
    ALT + SHIFT + T: Time Now
    Simple here, just do the shortcut to have your date or current time on the word. If you would like to update it later, just right click and click "Update field".

  5. A quicker way to clear off all your formatting
    In the case where you have a document from some other sources where you would like to maintain those writing but NOT the formatting, we have a quicker way for you to do that. Simply copy down all your wording to Notepad to which it will make all your wordings to the most original format (i.e. no format). Then, you can copy them again from Notepad back to the word document.

  6. SHIFT + 5: Go to the place where your cursor is 
    Sometimes when you have so many wordings in the word document and you have just missed the track of where your cursor is. Worry not, we have a shortcut key for you to go back to where your cursor is, i.e. SHIFT + 5. Yes, as simple as that.

Now it's your time. Open up word document and have fun trying them! Learn it to make your life easier and a bit more efficient now!
