Extra Word Commands:

 The following is a list of commands to help you write quickly AND EASILY AS WELL AS, build your confidence in preparing letters or other types of documents within the Word program. You may want to make yourself a reference sheet or booklet of this page to keep by your computer for easy access.

 The command name will be listed first and then what the key stroke is to complete the action. The list will be broken into two parts; one will be just the keystroke to complete a task, and the second part will be commands where you will need to select the text before initializing the command.

 First letter commands

These commands are where you will hold the control key down with the first letter of the key word in the command name itself. For example, if you want to save your document, you will use the letter S with the control key. To complete all first letter commands, hold down the control key and tap the first letter of the key word. So, to save, you will press the "control S" command. This is the same for the following commands.

  1.  To save your current document, "control S"
  2. To create a new document while in the word Program, "control N"
  3. To print the current document, "control P"
  4. To open a document that you already created, "control O"
  5. To find a word or phrase in the current document, press "control F".
  6. To move to a specific page, press "control G".
  7. To turn on the underline mode, press "control U". Now everything you type will be underlined. Press it again to turn it off.

  9. To turn on the italics mode, press "control I". Now everything you type will be italicized. Press it again to turn it off.
  10. To select all the text in a document, press "control A".
  11. To take back a command that you pressed accidentally, "control Z".

Select Text First: 

Most of the following commands are what you will need to select your specific text first before the command will work properly.

  1. Change case: This is where you may have left the capslock key on by mistake. Select the text that is in all caps and then pres the "shift F3" Command several times until you have changed the text the way you want it. If JAWS spells the text in a higher pitched voice, then the text is capitalized.

  4. Now to paste or place the text that you have put in the clipboard or temporary memory, press "control V".
  5. To print the specific text you have selected, press "Control P". This means that you will only print the text that is selected
  6. If you have more than one file open in Word, you can press the "control F6" command to cycle through all the files you have opened. When you let up you will focus on that file.
  7. To place the current date where the curser is, press "alt shift D".
