    60
    Alt + F4 (<9>)
    FileCloseOrExit
    Closes the current document, or if no documents are open, quits Word. Horrible command, as it makes it a long winded business to quit Word. But there's a simple solution - assign Alt+F4 to FileExit instead.

    61
    Alt + F4 (Word 97)
    FileExit
    Quits Microsoft Word and prompts to save the documents (does intercept the menu item, but not the keyboard shortcut, or the x button. An AutoExit macro is usually a better way of intercepting this).

    62
    NOT Ctrl+N!!
    FileNew
    Creates a new document or template (brings up the dialog). Note that: Word pretends that Ctrl+N is assigned to FileNew but it isn't, it's assigned to FileNewDefault You can fix this in Word 2000 by assigning Ctrl+N to the FileNewDialog command. In Word 97 the only way to fix it is to create a macro called FileNew (to do this, press Alt + F8, type "FileNew" without the quotes and Click "Create". The macro will automatically contain the code needed to make it work).

    63
    Ctrl+N
    FileNewDefault
    Creates a new document based on the Normal template.

    64
    Ctrl+O
    FileOpen
    Opens an existing document or template

    65
    Alt F, U
    FilePageSetup
    Changes the page setup of the selected sections

    66
    Ctrl + P
    FilePrint
    Prints the active document (brings up the dialog)

    67
    Ctrl+F2
    FilePrintPreview
    Displays full pages as they will be printed

    68
    Alt F, I
    FileProperties
    Shows the properties of the active document

    69
    Ctrl+S
    FileSave
    FileSave

    70
    Alt F, A (or F12)
    FileSaveAs
    Saves a copy of the document in a separate file (brings up the dialog)

    71
    Ctrl+Shift+F
    Font
    Activates the Fonts listbox on the formatting toolbar

    72
    Ctrl+Shift+P
    FontSizeSelect
