Answer: Is there a keyboard shortcut for turning on italics?
Yes, there is a keyboard shortcut for turning on italics in Microsoft Word. Here's how you can do it:
To turn off italics using the keyboard shortcut, simply select the italicized text and press "Ctrl" and "I" again. Using keyboard shortcuts can save you a lot of time and effort, especially when you need to apply formatting repeatedly. You can also use other keyboard shortcuts in Word, such as "Ctrl" and "B" for bold and "Ctrl" and "U" for underline.

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

Is there a keyboard shortcut for turning on italics?
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. Jay (a long-time Indiana techie with sparse Word experience) Suzanne S.

Also note that you can look in the Customize Keyboard dialog box for a
complete list of shortcuts associated with each Word command. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "DainBramage007" wrote in message ... Suzanne, Thank you for YOUR succinct, yet thorough answer.

Is there a keyboard shortcut for turning on italics?
Glad I could help. I often have occasion to refer to the "Keyboard
shortcuts" Help topic; as Stefan points out, if you know the command you need a shortcut for, you can find it through Tools | Customize | Keyboard, but the Help topic can make you aware of shortcuts for commands you didn't know existed! -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne,
One modification I've made is to turn Bold into Ctrl-O, so I can hold the Control key and use U, I, O as I like for all three of the common emphasis changes.

While you can setup whatever configuration you like, I don't see that this
gets you very far. CTRL+B (bold) is a lot more logical than CTRL+O which is pre-defined for File Open? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Don Ellis wrote: Hi Suzanne, One modification I've made is to turn Bold into Ctrl-O, so I can hold the Control key and use U, I, O as I like for all three of the common emphasis changes.

It gets you pretty far for ergonomics -- especially when you want to bold and italicize the same line, or bold and underline it, or all three. Ctrl+U, I and O are right there under three fingers on adjacent keys. Easier for me to define some other key combination to open a file.
