Create or Delete a Custom Shortcut in Word
Microsoft Word allows for updates to the keyboard shortcuts, unlike the other Office 2016 applications. And, the process is simple as well as sensible if you use Word regularly.
Open a Word document and—on the Mac menu, not the menu within Word—select Tools > Customize Keyboard. Then choose a category and a command. If a current shortcut exists, it will display in the Current Keys area.
To delete it, just select it and click Remove. To add a new shortcut, enter your desired keys to the Press new keyboard shortcut section. You can decide to save your changes in your current document or the Word document template. Then hit OK.
One Other Custom Keyboard Shortcut Option
Many choose to add keyboard shortcuts to their Mac and apply them to specific applications, which can be done only if there are no conflicts. You can do this by going to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts. You then click the plus sign, select your application, enter a menu command, and include the shortcut.
However again, this will only work if there is no conflict and personally, I have not been successful at using this method, yet.
Some Keyboard Shortcuts We Can't Live Without
It would be amazing if we could all memorize hundreds of keyboard shortcuts. This is not possible for most, so we stick with those we use constantly. They become such a habit that it is almost automatic. But it's also always great to learn new ones.
