It's all over now. Just accept the answer. And close the question. – R. Martinho Fernandes Aug 6 '09 at 14:56

Actually, the question was "useful" shortcuts, not "all" shortcuts. More than having them all, I guess the point of the question is to determine the main ones to know. – Gnoupi Aug 6 '09 at 15:09

Given enough time, they will all be listed anyway, so why not list them all from the beginning? Concerning the usefulness: the example in the question [ctrl]-[s]: I will not argue that it's not useful, but it's also not specifically for word. Just about any program uses [ctrl]-[s] to save – fretje Aug 6 '09 at 16:19

They're all useful, if you need to use them. – Phoshi Dec 6 '09 at 21:49

Although not just for Word, this is by far the one I use the most:

Ctrl+Z for undo

Office 2007: Alt

This brings up tooltips so you can use keyboard shortcuts for anything in the ribbon. It's a truly wonderful thing.

These are the ones I use most:

Ctrl+B = bold

Ctrl+I = italic

Ctrl+U = underline

Ctrl+= and Shift+Ctrl+= = superscript and subscript (can never which way around they are, so I just try both until I get the desired result).

Shift+Ctrl+8 = Show/hide formatting characters

Plus Undo and Save, which are probably the shortcuts I use most across all applications.

I've used Office 2007 for a while, but at work, I have to do with Word 2002. The thing I miss the most is the style possibility, and I discovered that there was already styles, even in a bit more primitive way.

Since I often type activity reports, with Week, then day, then different things, I found quite useful the CTRL+SHIFT+S, which puts your cursor to the "style" field, and where i have only to type "Title1", "Title2", etc., then to hit return, and I have my selected text in the wanted style.
