Default Is there a keyboard shortcut for turning on italics?

Also note that you can look in the Customize Keyboard dialog box for a
complete list of shortcuts associated with each Word command.

Suzanne,
Thank you for YOUR succinct, yet thorough answer. The other responses
answered my question, but YOU gave examples of other commonly needed
shortcuts, as well as a pointer to how to get more information (& the tip
of
a needed iceberg of related subjects).

Although I needed italic keyboard shortcuts, you went one step further and
sensed it was not the ONLY thing I needed shortcuts for, and your answer,
although brief, gave me the PERFECT response. Even if I only wanted the
italics question answered, your answer was short enough not to bog the
answer
down.

Thanks again. You've made a good impression on someone who's surrounded by
Micro$oft bashers. This is my first Discussion Group post and now I've got
a
positive boost in a negative environment! Way to go! The tech world needs
a
LOT more problem-solvers/educators with your mindset.

Ctrl+I toggles italics on and off. Ctrl+B for bold, Ctrl+U for underline,
etc. For others, see the "Keyboard shortcuts" Help topic.

I am needing to turn italics on and off multiple times while keying in

large
amounts of text. I need Word keyboard shortcuts so that I need not

position
my mouse over the Italics icon many times.
