for small caps, it’s not control + shift + K…. it’s COMMAND ( apple key ) + shift + K

Also, CTRL + BACKSPACE deletes entire words behind the cursor.

This is wonderful. You are wonderful. I have been wondering if there was a shortcut for inserting footnotes for ages, and I just couldn’t take it anymore and looked it up and found all this awesome stuff! Awesome.

hey, just so you know the control-alt-m thing doesn’t work for annotations anymore, and i can’t figure out what the shortcut is! it’s driving me nuts.

Side note:
“4. Delete entire words: The Ctrl+Delete combination will delete entire words, which will save you some time when you are making substantial changes to documents.”

On a Mac, the combination is fn+command+delete on MS Word.
For all the other applications I’ve used on a Mac, the combination is fn+option+delete. Why is it different? Beats me.

Hope this helps!

Aha! I love these new ‘tricks.’ As a mouse user but a fast typist, its amazing how much we take for granted to move things along!

Very informative. It’s amazing how little benefits like keyword shortcuts are often overlooked.
