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.
