 What’s new with keyboard shortcuts
Okay, keyboard people,
this section is for you.
You should know that
with the ribbon design,
there are a few updates
to keyboard shortcuts.

KeyTips replace keyboard shortcuts in Word 2010.

Make the switch to Word 2010

 What’s new with keyboard shortcuts
First off, don’t worry:
Shortcuts that start with
the CTRL key — for
example, CTRL+C for
copy, or CTRL+ALT+1
for Heading 1 — remain
the same as in previous
versions of Word.

KeyTips replace keyboard shortcuts in Word 2010.

Make the switch to Word 2010

 What’s new with keyboard shortcuts
But the ribbon design
comes with new
shortcuts. Why? Because
this change brings two
big advantages over
previous versions:

• Shortcuts for every

single button on the
ribbon.
• Shortcuts that often
require fewer keys.

KeyTips replace keyboard shortcuts in Word 2010.

and Quick Access
Toolbar commands,
