Carolyn and others,
By default the Ctrl-O keystroke in Word 2013 takes you to the backstage view,
but you can turn that off so that it opens the familiar Open dialogue instead.
You need to open the Word Options dialogue with Alt, F, T. DownArrow to Save, then Tab to
"Don’t show the Backstage when opening or saving files". Press Space to check
it and Enter to close the dialogue.
You should now be able to use Ctrl-O as you used to in earlier versions of
Word. If you want to use the Backstage view, you can still get to it with Alt,
F, O.

Back with Office 2003, I could be in what they then called Microsoft Word, and
hit Control O, then shift tab to the left, and I kept what was then My
Documents as the directory of choice. I could arrow up and down through the
thing, hit enter on anything I wanted. Every now and then, my husband would get
another directory on there, and I can't remember what I did to finagle My
Documents to be the one right to the left. Yes. With Word and Documents, I can
get the last documents I have opened, just see no way to full access other than
just go to Documents. Also, when sending attachments, I could do that too,
which was way cool.
Bye for now,
Carolyn

Office 2013 has a backstage view. Ours keeps the last 25 documents that have
been opened in the backstage view. Assuming your documents are saved in
documents, I usually press Control plus O, then shift plus tab one time and use
my up arrow to find my document and press Enter.

Do you mean a document list, containing all your Word documents? There was an old DOS
command, a variation of the DIR" command but I haven't used it in years. I think
it was dir > filename.

Peter, here are some I have in a document file. I still hope we can find out
how to get a document directory from a word document.
In Microsoft Word, for count, like Word Count, line count, etc, hit Alt T, W,
then arrow up for information.
For font, hit Alt H, f, N
For Mailing, Alt M, E for envelopes and Alt M L for labeling.
For margins, hit Alt P, M, A.
For tabs, Alt O, T.
For word definitions: Shift F7, then F6. It will tell you to put in your word.
Then tab to Thesarus English US. Enter, tab until you start getting the
definitions. This one is a little tricky and requires maneuvering, but is worth
it to find out what stuff means.
Here's what Trudy sent on key strokes:
I don't know your level of computer knowledge and am not trying to insult
anyone, but thought that these shortcuts, if you didn't know them already,
would be useful information for those of you who didn't know them already.
If you do know them, but have friends who don't, please pass them on.
Or, if you didn't know them yourself and have friends who don't know them, pass
them on to those friends too.

Thanks Ann,
I'm making headwaywith WORD 2013.
Your suggestion to get to save-as by using the old:
alt+F then a
only gets me to the save-as tab. Inow know that I have to select a button for
the folder and that brings up the edit box.
The F12 gets me directly into the edit box where I can type thepath/fileName.
I still don't know how to open a file from inside WORD. The ctrl+o gets me the
open tab. Only recent documents are shown.
I need an edit box to type the path/file so I can open a text file from within
WORD.
Existing WORD files can be opened by selecting them from the directory tree.
The large WORD hot keys file is a problem, maybe the "protected view".
I used F12 to save it as a RTF and text file. It will take time to go through
it.
Thanks again.

If you remember the commands from Word 2003, you can use most of them.
But you can't open a menu and select one. So to get to the format
paragraph dialog, you have to type alt-o, then p. To get to 'change
case', it's alt-o, then e. Save-as is alt-f, then a, or f12.
Good luck! the transition is a stinker, but eventually it's manageable.

You can change the font by pressing Alt-O-F or Shift Control-F or,
best of all, Control D, which always has been delete - go figure. I
learned the second and third commands from listers. I too jumped from
2003 to 2013. Actually, I had a brief stint with 2010, which is about
the same as 2013.

Hello,
I just switched from WORD 2003 to 2013. The menu bar has been changed
to a ribbon menu for some years now. These ribbons are proving to be
an initial hurdle. I'm tabbing and arrowing in a fruitless search for
what I want.
When the ribbons first came out, Ihad heard that you could use some
of the old Menu Bar hot keys, but that isn't exactly true.
Alt+F doesn't bring up the old File menu.
Some of you provided the hot keys for changing the font.
How do I do a "save as"? That was in the File menu.
If I do a "alt+f a" I get a save as tab. There is no edit field.
How do I open a file? The ctrl+o gives me the open tab and recently
opened documents.
There is no edit field to type in the drive, path file-name that I
used to do.
I got started by using the tree to select an existing WORD document
It was opened by WORD. I could then open it as a recent document.
I just found the JAWS training, as DAISY books. These can be
downloaded so I downloaded the VirtualRibbonMenus.exe. It is an executable file.
How do I get it into a DAISY book format to transfer to my DAISY player?
Thanks for any help.
Peter T.
