When changing a keyboard shortcut in Word, I don't always know how the associated command is called, so it's cumbersome to search for it in the customize ribbon -> keyboard shortcuts command list.

I know there's a keyboard shortcut that can be pressed, the mouse cursor will transform into the "command" key ⌘ symbol. After that, if another keyboard shortcut is pressed, such as ctrl+N, the menu interface to change the associated command (in this case: "New Document") will open automatically.

I've used that method many times, but now I forgot the shortcut. A web search didn't help. How's that keyboard shortcut ?

  • It is not hard to find the keyboard shortcuts (support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/…) but it has proven for me to be faster overall (vastly faster if I forget something) just to use the menus.

Word for Windows: Ctrl+Alt+Numeric Keypad "+"

My preference, though, is to assign them through the Customize the Keyboard button on the Customize the Ribbon dialog. Here is my article on Assigning Keyboard Shortcuts in Word 2007-2019.

See my other article on creating a list of keyboard shortcuts (I recommend to pdf).
