If you prefer the keyboard over the mouse when performing various tasks in Windows and other applications, this article will be very useful for you. In it, we will show how to get a list of keyboard shortcuts available in Word.
The first way to do this is to print (on paper or PDF) a list of keyboard shortcuts for the current document or template. To create this list, open the tab פילעט (טעקע).

Decide which of the lists you want to create: Current keyboard settings (Current keyboard settings) or All Word commands (All Word commands). Please note that the list All Word commands (All Word commands) can get very long. It took us 76 pages.
So, a new file containing a list of keyboard shortcuts associated with Word commands has been created. The list is sorted alphabetically. You can see it in the picture at the very beginning of the article. Save this Word file to always have a handy list of keyboard shortcuts for working in Word.
If there are any add-ins installed in Word, then it may be worth restarting the program without loading these add-ins. They can affect the keyboard shortcuts available in Word. To start Word without loading add-ins, press the keys Win + X (for Windows 8) and in the superuser menu that appears, select Command Prompt (Command line).
You will need to provide the path to the Word executable file. Start Windows Explorer and open the location of the Office executable files (usually they are located in the path shown in the figure below).

Go back to the window Command Prompt (Command Prompt) and enter opening double quotes. Then right-click on the same line and in the context menu that appears, click פּאַפּ (אַרייַנלייגן).
נאטיץ: You need to enclose the entire path to the executable file in quotes because it contains spaces.
The copied path will be pasted into the command line after the opening quotes. End the command with the following text and press אַרייַן:
winword.exe" /a
נאטיץ: This string requires a space between the quotes and the forward slash.
Now Word will start without loading add-ins. Follow the steps above to run the macro ListCommand (List of commands) and generate a list of keyboard shortcuts installed in Word.
No need to keep a window Command Prompt (Command Prompt) open while Word is running. To close this window, click the button Х in the upper right corner. If you leave the window Command Prompt (Command Prompt) open until you close Word, then return to the command prompt again.
נאטיץ: צו פאַרמאַכן די פֿענצטער Command Prompt (Command line), you can enter the command אַרויסגאַנג (without quotes) and click אַרייַן.
If you’re having trouble using keyboard shortcuts, a conflict might be the cause. It happens that the same keyboard shortcut is assigned to two or more actions. When such a conflict occurs, Word is guided by a set of rules that help it decide which command to execute when using the dubious keyboard shortcut. The following priority is taken into account:
- Keyboard shortcuts defined in the document itself.
- Template keyboard shortcuts associated with the document.
- Keyboard shortcuts defined for the Normal template.
- Keyboard shortcuts defined in additional global templates, in alphabetical order.
- Keyboard shortcuts defined in add-ons, in alphabetical order.
- Preset keyboard shortcuts defined in Word.
For example, if you want to click Ctrl + Shift + F. a specific folder opened in any Word document, bind this keyboard shortcut to a macro that is either in the Normal template or in the global template, but not in any specific document or template attached to the document.
In addition, the global keyboard shortcuts adopted by the Windows operating system take precedence over the keyboard shortcuts set in any application, including Word.
