Ribbon keyboard shortcuts
The ribbon groups related options on tabs. For example, on the Home tab, the Font group includes the Font Color option. Press the Alt key to display the ribbon shortcuts, called Key Tips, as letters in small images next to the tabs and options as shown in the image below.
Note: Add-ins and other programs can add new tabs to the ribbon and might provide access keys for those tabs.
You can combine the Key Tips letters with the Alt key to make shortcuts called Access Keys for the ribbon options. For example, press Alt+H to open the Home tab, and Alt+Q to move to the Tell Me or Search field. Press Alt again to see Key Tips for the options for the selected tab.
Depending on the version of Microsoft 365 you are using, the Search text field at the top of the app window might be called Tell Me instead. Both offer a largely similar experience, but some options and search results can vary.
In Office 2013 and Office 2010, most of the old Alt key menu shortcuts still work, too. However, you need to know the full shortcut. For example, press Alt, and then press one of the old menu keys E (Edit), V (View), I (Insert), and so on. A notification pops up saying you’re using an access key from an earlier version of Microsoft 365. If you know the entire key sequence, go ahead and use it. If you don’t know the sequence, press Esc and use Key Tips instead.

Work with right-to-left languages
Word supports right-to-left functionality for languages that work in a right-to-left or a combined right-to-left, left-to-right environment for writing, editing, and displaying text. In this context, right-to-left languages refers to any writing system that is written from right to left and includes languages that require contextual shaping, such as Arabic, and languages that do not.
Before you can use these keyboard shortcuts, you need to ensure keyboard shortcuts are enabled for the language you are using:
-
Go to Apple > System Preferences > Keyboard.
-
On the Input Sources tab, select the language for which you want to enable shortcuts.
-
On the right side of the tab, select the check box for Enable keyboard shortcuts.
To do this |
Press |
---|---|
Switch the writing direction to right-to-left. |
Control++ Left arrow key |
Switch the writing direction to left-to-right. |
Control++ Right arrow key |

Use function key shortcuts
Word for Mac uses the function keys for common commands, including Copy and Paste. For quick access to these shortcuts, you can change your Apple system preferences so you don’t have to press the Fn key every time you use a function key shortcut.
Note: Changing system function key preferences affects how the function keys work on your Mac, not just in Word. After changing this setting, you can still perform the special features printed on a function key. Just press the Fn key. For example, to use the F12 key to change your volume, press Fn+F12.
If a function key doesn’t work as you expect it to, press the Fn key in addition to the function key. If you don’t want to press the Fn key each time, you can change your Apple system preferences. For instructions, go to Change function key preferences.
The following table provides the function key shortcuts for Word for Mac.

Screen reader support for Word
This article describes the keyboard shortcuts in Word for the web.
Notes:
-
If you use Narrator with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, you have to turn off scan mode in order to edit documents, spreadsheets, or presentations with Microsoft 365 for the web. For more information, refer to Turn off virtual or browse mode in screen readers in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.
-
To quickly find a shortcut in this article, you can use Search. Press Ctrl+F and then type your search words.
-
When you use Word for the web, we recommend that you use Microsoft Edge as your web browser. Because Word for the web runs in your web browser, the keyboard shortcuts are different from those in the desktop program. For example, you’ll use Ctrl+F6 instead of F6 for jumping in and out of the commands. Also, common shortcuts like F1 (Help) and Ctrl+O (Open) apply to the web browser – not Word for the web.

Basic tasks using a screen reader with Word
Use a screen reader to explore and navigate Word
Screen reader support for Word
There are two ways you can go to the end of a Word document. The first is to use a keyboard shortcut and the second is to create a macro. There are pros and cons of each approach. Here’s how to do it.
Using Keyboard – Go to end of MS Word document
If you want to go directly to the end of a Word document when its opens:
Press Ctrl+End
This takes you to the very last character in the document.
If you want to go back to the start of the document:
Press Ctrl+Home
Using Macros – Go to end of MS Word document
You can also setup a macro to do this.
To create a macro, add the following lines of code in the Autoopen macro:
Sub AutoOpen()
Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory
End Sub
Which is better?
If you simply want to go to the end of the document, then use Ctrl+End.
However, if you want to run several macros at the same time, for example, to change fonts, format the document and so on, then use the macro to bring you to the end of the document when it’s finished processing.
Does this work on your keyboard? What other shortcuts do you use in Microsoft Word?

Gretchen is experiencing a problem that just started happening in Word. When she types a line of text and presses Enter, the cursor automatically skips to the end of the page. She has re-set the defaults, restarted the computer, even re-installed the software, but it is still happening.
The problem is probably because of a setting in the layout of the page, as defined in your Normal template. (Even if you reinstall the software, the installer doesn’t overwrite an existing copy of the Normal template, so any settings it contained before are still there after the reinstall.) Here’s what to do:
- Load your Normal template. You want to actually locate it on your disk and load it; don’t simply create a document based upon it.
- Display the Page Layout or Layout tab of the ribbon (depending on your version of Word).
- Click the small icon at the bottom-right of the Page Setup group. Word displays the Page Setup dialog box.
- Make sure the Layout tab is displayed. (See Figure 1.)
- Using the Vertical Alignment drop-down list, choose Top.
- Click OK.
- Save your Normal.dot template.
Figure 1. The Layout tab of the Page Setup dialog box.
This will help correct the problem in future documents. If the problem exists in documents you previously created, you’ll need to load the document and perform the same steps on them individually.
If you have the vertical alignment (step 5) set to some other value, then Word tries to distribute your text across the page vertically according to the setting. This can make it seem like the cursor jumps to the end of the page when you press Enter; if the Vertical Alignment drop-down is set to Justified, then the jump would be exactly as described after pressing Enter.
