If you find the necessary use of the mouse inconvenient, you will appreciate this way to control the MS Word Quick Access Toolbar and Ribbon using your keyboard.

You don’t need to memorize any shortcut at all! Just Press the Alt key, and all the Ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar shortcuts are revealed.

Type any of them and watch Word as it obeys your command!

Some commands are triggered with a single key, others with two keys (e.g. Y7 or 07 etc). In the second case, just press the first key and then the next one — there is no need to press them together.

Enjoy!

Being yourself an author or student you will perhaps appreciate especially this feature, that the very structure of the book will teach you how to work. The book contains even chapters on how to prepare a document for professional publishers such as Amazon. Reading Steven Adams' Writing a book or thesis in Microsoft Word you are surprised realizing it makes you want to work -- to think, write, use Word and be creative!
