To see all of the keyboard shortcuts available in Word, we’ll use a built-in macro. This macro is present in Word 2003 and above, but the steps below use Word 2016 as the example.

  1. Navigate to the View tab in Word.
  2. Click Macros > View Macros.
  3. Change the dropdown for the macros location to “Word commands.”
  4. Type “ListCommands” in the Macro name field.
  5. Click Run.
  6. Click OK. Leave the selection “Current keyboard settings,” since the “All Word commands” option generates commands that don’t have keyboard shortcuts. Word will quickly create a table of all of its keyboard shortcuts, which you can save for future reference or perhaps edit to highlight the ones most useful to you.
