If you accidentally press Alt + 1 instead of Alt, 1, you will by default apply the Heading 1 style instead of triggering the Insert Comment command (when using my Quick Access toolbar configuration). Like the commands in the ribbon, all commands in the Quick Access toolbar also have a key chord assigned to them: Alt, 1 triggers the first command, Alt, 2 triggers the second command, and so on.Īlthough these key chords are shorter than the ones for ribbon commands, they are still key chords and easy to get wrong. I replaced the default commands with the ones which I am currently frequently using. However, the commands in the toolbar can be customized from the Quick Access Toolbar pane in the Word Options dialog. Since I know the keyboard shortcuts for all of them, I have probably never clicked on any of these commands. In the top left corner of the Word window above the ribbon, there's the Quick Access toolbar containing the following commands by default: Save, Undo, and Redo. In my despair over the missing keyboard customization functionality, I found a somewhat limited alternative to it which deserves at least a mention. button in the Customize Ribbon pane of the Word Options dialog. Actually, I stumbled upon it by chance after I was already convinced that this functionality had been removed from Word. It took me a while to find this dialog, though. You can use it to assign a custom keyboard shortcut to any command.
Judging by its appearance, it hasn't been updated for a long time but it still works. To my surprise, the Customize Keyboard dialog is still in Word. In versions of Word before ribbon, menu items had regular keyboard shortcuts (e.g. Although it's not too difficult to remember, triggering it isn't exactly quick and it's easy to get the sequence of three keyboard shortcuts wrong. For example, to trigger the Next Comment command on the Review tab, I must press Alt, R, N. a sequence of keyboard shortcuts which must be pressed to trigger the command. Or more precisely, it has its own key chord, i.e. In addition to Microsoft keyboard shortcuts, Microsoft Word also has a Ribbon option, which allows you to see a wider range of options and tools for editing your text. This shouldn't be too difficult because each command in the ribbon has its own keyboard shortcut by default. To further speed up my work as I'm getting more comfortable with the commands, I wanted to start using keyboard shortcuts instead of the mouse. In particular, I'm working with comments and other reviewing tools. Recently, I've been using Word a lot and became much more familiar with many of its features.
