Almost Every Office Keyboard Shortcut You Could Ever Need

Keyboard shortcuts are wonderful time savers.  Instead of needing to switch to your mouse, locate your cursor, move it to the right place, click, and then relocate your hand back to the keyboard, a simple key or combination of 2-3 keys can do the job.  Fortunately, Office comes with many built-in shortcuts to do common jobs, such as cut/copy/paste, print, bold/italics/underline, and save.

However, keyboard shortcuts do not help you if you do not know what they are.  While there are plenty of guides available that can teach you some of the most common ones, Microsoft has put together a guide that lists the majority of shortcuts available.

(One caution.  If you use add-ons, you may find that some of the add-ons have modified keyboard shortcuts either with or without your permission.  If you find that one of these does not work, and you use add-ons, an add-on is probably the cause.)

Here are keyboard shortcut guides for the most common Office programs:
Microsoft Word
Microsoft Excel
Microsoft PowerPoint
Microsoft Outlook
Microsoft OneNote
