SUMMARY

This article lists the shortcut key changes between Word 5.1 and Word 6.0.

Note that COMMAND+SHIFT+DOWN ARROW and COMMAND+SHIFT+UP ARROW select an entire paragraph in Word version 5.0. Word 6.0 does not have a similar feature. The following macro simulates this behavior when assigned to either of those key combinations:

     Sub Main
        EditGoTo "\para"
     End Sub
