Default Key Combos for use during editing documents

Consider me a new user after a stroke. I'm using Word 2007 and editing a HUGE
document and am a typist rather than a mouse user. With this in mind you can
see how knowing the Key Combinations for some very repetative actions would
be much appreciated.

The ones I need are all in the paragraph section:

Add space after paragraph
Remove space after paragraph
Keep lines together
Keep with next
Hanging Indent

Thanks for you attention. This site is wonderful. Keep up the great work.

There are no built-in shortcut keys for these commands (except Hanging
Indent = Ctrl+T), but you can (I assume) still assign them in Word 2007,
through whatever its equivalent of Tools | Customize is. A better approach
would be to define appropriate styles and apply them using keyboard
shortcuts.

You will want to run a listing of all the available keystroke commands.

Start Running a Macro (ALT+F8)
Change the Macros In combo box to Word Commands
In the Macro Name box, type in List Commands
Click the Run button.

I would choose Current keyboard settings. A word document formatted as a
table will then be generated listing all keystrokes that are currently
assigned to commands.

I also ran the Word Commands setting when I ran it the second time, and
found that there were more commands, yet most of them did not have
keystrokes associated with them.

I did not find many of the commands you wanted....
Hanging Indent = CTRL+T

ALT+O , P will open the Paragraph dialog box. Then ALT + appropriately
underlined character to jump to the command. For instance ALT + B will get
you to the Spacing Before option.

Good Luck.

Agreed it is. But, just in passing, where would you ever need a space after
a paragraph?

That's actually a very common default. The built-in Body Text style is
defined as Normal + 6 pts Spacing After. There are advantages to using space
after for body text styles; space after AND before for heading styles.

I think you're mistaking the use of the word 'space' - in this context it
doesn't mean a press of the space bar.

Suzanne is referring to what some call a 'blank line' between paragraphs. It
is commonly created by pressing Enter twice at the end of a paragraph by
those who haven't yet learned the difference between _typing_ and _word
processing_ :-)

Yes, I was making that assumption. I take ENTER as a LF/CR.

It depends on what sort of text you're editing. In a book, it is customary
to use a first-line indent instead of space between paragraphs. But in
letters, especially those in block style, it is conventional to use space
between the paragraphs.

I think we are cross purposes. I was not talking about vertical space (line
feed) but horizontal space (spacebar). Yes I always edit books to indent
each new paragraph (except the first in a chapter) but I write letters etc.
in blocks with a linefeed between 'em and no indents.

CyberTaz tried to correct this misapprehension when he wrote:

Suzanne is referring to what some call a 'blank line' between paragraphs.

to which you replied:

I misread this as meaning that you were in fact referring to Space After in
the sense in which CyberTaz and I were using it..
