Frequent users of Microsoft Word or Excel know many of the keyboard shortcuts in place to make use of the software quick and easy. To give you a quick example, ‘Command + P’ saves time when printing (rather than dragging the mouse to the top of the screen, clicking ‘File –> Print’.

 

The folks at Lifehacker have compiled a handy collection of printable shortcuts for Microsoft Word and Excel that frequent users should hang onto.

Learn All the Microsoft Word Keyboard Shortcuts with This Printable Cheatsheet

Microsoft Word offers many—at least 247—keyboard shortcuts to speed up your document creation workflow. If you don’t know all of them yet, grab this PDF or doc file as a handy reference.

I generated this list of Word keyboard shortcuts from a built-in macro called ListCommands, per instructions from Help Desk Geek. There are 11 pages total. (Another option in the macro to generate a list of “All Word commands” instead of “current keyboard settings” generated 81 pages, but they didn’t seem to contain any additional keyboard shortcuts, only, oddly, extra commands without shortcuts. If you’d like to run the macro yourself, see the Help Desk Geek instructions, but for most people the 247 shortcuts here should suffice.)

Here they are on Google Docs (go to the File menu to copy them to your Google account or download to your computer):
