To obtain a list of shortcut key assignments in Microsoft Word, use the appropriate procedure for your version of Word.
Word for Windows NT and Word for the Macintosh:
1. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.
2. From the Macros Available In list, select Word Commands.
3. In the Macro Name list, select ListCommands.
4. Click Run.
