For users with mobility or vision disabilities, keyboard shortcuts are an essential alternative to using a mouse.

It took me 5 months of learning Spanish to realize that I had keyboard shortcuts for Spanish accent marks on my Mac. I also found out that your computer, be it Windows or Mac, has a Spanish Keyboard that you can switch to.

Notes:

• The shortcuts in this topic refer to the US keyboard layout. Keys for other layouts might not correspond exactly to the keys on a US keyboard.

• Commands that require you to press and release multiple keys together are indicated with a plus sign (+). Commands that require you to press multiple keys in order are indicated by a comma sign (,).

• The settings in some versions of the Mac operating system (OS) and some utility applications might conflict with keyboard shortcuts and function key operations in Office for Mac. For information about changing the key assignment of a keyboard shortcut, see Mac Help for your version of the Mac OS or see your utility application. Also see Shortcut conflicts later in this topic.

Right-to-left language features

Word supports right-to-left functionality for languages that work in a right-to-left or a combined right-to-left, left-to-right environment for writing, editing, and displaying text. In this context, right-to-left languages refers to any writing system that is written from right to left and includes languages that require contextual shaping, such as Arabic, and languages that do not.

Before you can use these keyboard shortcuts, you need to ensure keyboard shortcuts are enabled for the language you are using:

1. Go to Apple > System Preferences > Keyboard.

2. On the Input Sources tab, select the language for which you want to enable shortcuts.

3. On the right side of the tab, select the check box for Enable keyboard shortcuts.

To switch	Press
Paragraph direction to right to left	Control + + Left arrow

Use function key shortcuts

Word for Mac uses the function keys for common commands, including Copy and Paste. For quick access to these shortcuts, you can change your Apple system preferences so you don't have to press the Fn key every time you use a function key shortcut.

Note: Changing system function key preferences affects how the function keys work for your Mac, not just Word. After changing this setting, you can still perform the special features printed on a function key. Just press the Fn key. For example, to use the F12 key to change your volume, press Fn+F12.

Change function key preferences with the mouse

1. On the Apple menu, press System Preferences.

2. Select Keyboard.

3. On the Keyboard tab, select the check box for Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys.
