    Thank you for the list! For me, the best way to learn is to see the shrotcuts when you hover the mouse over the button. Most bottons in the ribbon will show you the the shortcut, but some do not, such as "new comment". Is there a way to set MSWord 2007 to show you all the shortcuts until they become familar?
  • Thanks for the great, organized list! I'm looking for a shortcut for "New Comment" when reviewing a document. Do you know of one?

    Thank you!!!!! I could not find the Reveal formatting in Word 2007. You helped prevent a certain stroke and trip to the hospital. Thank you again.
