And one more, which is probably not well known:
Put the cursor anywhere in the paragraph and press Alt+Shift+arrow key (up or down). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

But note that these shortcuts are safer in Outline view (because they might
lead to unexpected results if headings have been collapsed in Outline view, even if you use the shortcuts in Print Layout view). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...

The Alt+Shift+Up/Down Arrow shortcut is probably one of the top three shortcuts in Word. I bet I use it more than any other; even more than Ctrl+C/X/V and Ctrl+B/I/U. I do not understand why Microsoft keeps this such a secret. As you point out, there can be some unexpected results. 1. If you don't always run with all levels expanded, then only use it in Outline view. If you do, then you are fine. 2. In Outline view, it can be used to move whole sections. Just collapse the outline level to the level you want to move and it will take everything at a lower level with it. Just don't forget to re-expand before leaving Outline view. 3. It cannot move text outside a table through a table. But it can move a table through text. So, if you need to move a paragraph across a table, move the table instead. This tool should be documented and featured. |

It might very well be documented, but Help is not very useful in recent
versions of Word. This is especially true when you search Help: many irrelevant matches are returned. :-( -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Sesquipedalian Sam" wrote in message ...

Help was never excellent and it has steadily deteriorated to the point that it is now mostly a perverse obstacle course, if not a torture chamber. |

Is it the shortcut you want documented or the use in outline view? If the
latter, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/UsingOLView.htm. If the former, there's a list (not very helpfully arranged) of all keyboard shortcuts at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290938. A more helpful categorization (similar to what is offered in Word 2003 Help) is at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211982 (this is very exhaustive and even includes shortcuts that are not in Help). -- Suzanne S.
