How to write faster in Microsoft Word


As I got positive feedback on my other posts regarding productivity using computer software (Windows XP and Microsoft Excel), I am now continuing the series with a collection of Microsoft Word shortcuts which are saving me much time when writing. Why to delete one letter at a time, when you can delete a whole word using the same amount of commands? Why to scroll or to press PageDown I don’t know how many times, when you can go at the end of your document with one single command? I know that in the beginning it will look harder to remember those shortcuts than to use the common way, but I challenge you to try this for at least 1 week, then write me about how you feel. I guarantee you that you’ll be amazed by the quantity of work you’ll be able to do working as many hours as you used to.
I’m sure that these are not the only available shortcuts, I probably missed some of them, and I’d be happy if anyone who knows some more shared them here with us.

Enjoy!
