MS Word: Keep Function Keys Always in View
If you ever forget that F5 is the “Go To” command or Shift + F11 is “Go to Previous Field”, fear not. Word offers a little-known toolbar that reminds you of what the function keys do. Press Shift and you’ll see what the Shift + function key combos do, press Ctrl and you’ll see those shortcuts, and so on.
The toolbar is automatically placed at the bottom of the screen (underneath the document area); like any toolbar, you can drag it and dock to it any side of the screen, or let it float. The illustration online shows the toolbar in its floating state.
To display the Function Key Display toolbar:
1. Use the Tools/Customize menu command.
2. Select the Toolbars tab, then check the Function Key Display box.
3. Click the Close button.
Press the Ctrl, Alt, or Shift keys to see the toolbar buttons (shortcut hints) change.
