Ms Word Shortcuts

Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I, or Ctrl+U apply bold, italics, or underline to highlighted text, respectively.

Ctrl+Z is the magic undo combo. It simply undoes your last action, say, the paragraph you accidentally erased (it works in other applications, too - try it on the Photoshop filter you really wish you hadn't applied, or after renaming a document or a folder in a Windows directory). Programs vary in the number of times you can undo something, but some will let you Ctrl+Z all the way back to the beginning. (And, yes, there is a redo command, just hit Ctrl+Y.)

Ctrl+P prints whatever is in an active window.

Ctrl+Backspace erases an entire word at a time, instead of a letter.

Ctrl+up or down arrows let you scroll an entire paragraph at a time, instead of one line,

Ctrl+Shift+up or down arrow will select an entire paragraph.

Ctrl+Enter inserts a page break in Word.

Alt+Ctrl+C inserts the copyright symbol

Alt+Ctrl+R inserts the registered trademark symbol

Alt+Ctrl+T makes the trademark symbol
