Useful keyboard shortcuts to help you master Microsoft Word

I have always been a firm believer in keyboard shortcuts and in my training have always given them equal billing to using the mouse. As I do workshops and Training seminars I am always amazed at how underutilized those shortcuts are, given their usefulness. The use of those shortcuts has become even more important, particularly in light of the revamping that Microsoft Word 2007 has undergone compared to the previous versions.
The following shortcuts work in Word 2007 as well as previous versions, so if you are still using Word 2000 or 2003 and you are contemplating upgrading to 2007, you will be at a great advantage learning the following shortcuts. I dare say that your Microsoft Word efficiency will improve more than a couple of notches if you can master all those shortcuts. So take my advice and learn them.
There are many more keyboard shortcuts available in Word; the list is intended to be what I deem most useful for the average user of the program.
