-Keyboard shortcuts are incredibly useful, and when used correctly, will help save time and preserve sanity. +Keyboard shortcuts are incredibly useful, and when used correctly, will help save time and preserve sanity. They can be used for the following reformatting tasks: 
 +   * Applying Styles 
 +   * Inserting Notes, Images, and Symbols 
 +   * Performing Basic Function Commands (opening a tool or view)
  
-The table below offers a list of suggested Keyboard Shortcuts. Some of these were default, but most of them needed to be created. When you are customizing your keyboard, and "Press a new Keyboard Shortcut", it will tell you if the shortcut you have input has already been assigned. If it has, you can either leave it as is, and choose another keyboard shortcut, or you can Assign it to the command. If you do this, you must navigate to the Command for which it was already assigned to, and remove the keyboard shortcut from this command.+On this page, you will find information on pre-existing keyboard shortcuts for both Mac and PC users. You will also find information on how to create your own custom keyboard shortcuts at the end of this page.
  
-<note>Make sure you hit "Assign", and not just "OK" after inputting a new keyboard shortcut.</note>+<note tip>If you are looking to fix a repeating formatting problem in your file, for example: double paragraph breaks or letters converted into numbers, please go to the [[public:nnels:etext:find-and-replace|Using Find & Replace]] or [[public:nnels:etext:regex|Using Regular Expressions]]. If you still can't find it, try writing your own Regex, or using a wildcard for find and replace.</note>
  
-You will be able to assign many keyboard shortcuts using the ''Tools>Customize Keyboard...'' dialog. If you want to assign a shortcut to a style that you have created, then you will need to access the dialog through the drop-down menu in the Modify Styles dialog box.+<note>If you discover a Keyboard Shortcut that is not on this page, or through the supporting links, please contact the Production Coordinator. They can teach you how to add your own examples through updating this wiki page! All updates to this page //must// be shared with the full team.</note>
  
-Below is an example list of shortcuts. You may prefer different shortcuts. Command + Option + 4/5/6/7/8/9/0 may be unassigned, and therefore easy to apply.+=====Using Existing Keyboard Shortcuts=====

 +=====Customizing Keyboard Shortcuts===== 
 +Unfortunately, there is not a Keyboard Shortcut for every function or command in MS Word, but the exciting news is you can create your own! 
 + 
 +<note warning>Under Construction</note> 
 + 
 +**In Word for Mac:** 
 + 
 +You will be able to assign many keyboard shortcuts using the ''Tools>Customize Keyboard...'' dialog.  
 + 
 +**In Word for PC:** 
 + 
 +The path to Customizing keyboard shortcuts is: ''File'' > ''Options'' > ''Customize Ribbon'' > ''Keyboard Shortcuts: **Customize**''. 
 + 
 +<note>For both Mac and PC: When you are customizing your keyboard, and ‘ ‘Press a new Keyboard Shortcut’ ‘, it will tell you if the shortcut you have input has already been assigned to another command. If it has, you can either leave it as is, and choose another key combination, or you can Assign it to the command. If you do this, you may need to navigate to the Command which it was already assigned to, and remove the keyboard shortcut from this command (this depends on your version of Word - some will automatically remove it from the original command when you assign it to a new command).</note> 
 + 
 +=====Shortcuts for Selecting Text===== 
 + 
 +Getting comfortable with using these types of shortcuts will help you to quickly navigate your document, and select items when you need to. 
 + 
 +Using them also helps to give you more control over your selections. For example, if you needed to select all of the text of a chapter, and scrolled too far with your mouse, you do not have to start again - you can just use the shortcuts to de-select as many paragraphs or lines as you want!  
 + 
 +For Word for PC, a detailed list of text-selecting keyboard shortcuts can be found [[https://support.office.com/en-us/article/select-text-5ae24034-1c93-4805-bc2d-00aaf6235c97#ID0EAABAAA=Office_2010|on this page]], under the heading "Select text by using the keyboard". 
 + 
 +For Word for Mac, a similar list can be found [[https://support.office.com/en-us/article/keyboard-shortcuts-in-word-for-mac-3256d48a-7967-475d-be81-a6e3e1284b25|on this page]], under the heading "Select text and graphics".
