Using an external keyboard with keyboard shortcuts

in Word may help you work more efficiently. For
people with mobility or vision disabilities, keyboard
shortcuts can be easier than using a touchscreen, and
are a helpful alternative to using a mouse.
Notes:

 The shortcuts in this topic refer to the US keyboard layout. Keys for other layouts
might not fully correspond to the keys on a US keyboard.
 A plus sign (+) in a shortcut means that you need to press multiple keys at the same
time.
 A comma (,) in a shortcut means that you need to press multiple keys in order.

Close a task pane

To close a task pane using the keyboard:

1. Press F6 until the task pane is selected.

2. Press Ctrl+Spacebar.
3. Use the arrow keys to select Close, and then
press Enter.

Ribbon keyboard shortcuts

The ribbon area groups together related options in
tabs. For example, on the Home tab, the Font group
includes the Font Color option. Press the Alt key to
display the ribbon shortcuts -- called Key Tips -- as
seen below.

Note: Add-ins and other programs can add new tabs to the ribbon and possibly provide access
keys for those tabs.

For various ribbon options you can combine the Key

Tips letters with the Alt key to make shortcuts called
Access Keys. For example, press Alt+H to open
the Home tab, and Alt+Q to move to the Tell
Me or Search field. Press Alt again to see Key Tips for
the options for the selected tab.
Depending on the version of Microsoft 365 you are
using, the Search text field at the top of the app
window might be called Tell Me instead. Both offer a
largely similar experience, but some options and
search results can vary.

In Office 2013 and Office 2010, most of the old Alt

key menu shortcuts still work, too. However, you
need to know the full shortcut. For example, press Alt,
and then press one of the old menu keys E (Edit), V
(View), I (Insert), and so on. A notification pops up
saying you're using an access key from an earlier
version. If you know the entire key sequence, you can
still use it. Otherwise, press Esc and use Key Tips
instead.

Use the Access Keys for ribbon tabs

To go directly to a tab on the ribbon, press one of the
following access keys. Additional tabs might appear
depending on your selection in the document.

mode, such as Read Mode or Outline view. You can
also set the zoom magnification and manage
multiple document windows.
