MUST have Computer Skills Use shortcuts in Word Windows isn't the only thing you can control using the keyboard. When you're typing away in Word, it might be easier to use a keyboard shortcut than make a command using the mouse. As before, Alt and the corresponding underlined letter will take you to the menu bar. Press the menu key on the keyboard (the one to the right of the space bar between Alt, Win and the right Control key) to get a menu with some formatting and thesaurus options. Use Ctrl and C to copy, Ctrl and V to paste, and Ctrl then X to cut. Hold down shift and use the cursor keys to select text, and use Ctrl and Z to undo the last thing you did.
