Which is the shortcut key for accessing microsoft office word help from the word window?

Chances are good that your small business handles a lot of documents -- most do. That's why being able to access them as efficiently as possible is important. You probably know at least one or two ways to open Microsoft Word on your PC, but there are a few you may not know.

1. Click the Start button. Type "word" without quotation marks into the search box. Click "Microsoft Word 2010" in the list that appears.

2. Click the Start button. Hover the mouse pointer over "All Programs." Scroll down to the Microsoft Office folder and click it. Select "Microsoft Word 2010."

3. Press the Windows key and "R" on the keyboard at the same time to bring up the Run dialogue. Type "WinWord.exe" without quotation marks into the box.

4. Right-click on an empty area of the Windows 7 desktop. Hover the mouse pointer over "New" in the menu that appears. Click "Shortcut." Type or copy and paste "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\WINWORD.EXE" into the box. Click "Next." Type "Word" into the box and click "Finish." Double-click the Word shortcut that appears on the desktop to launch Word.

5. Open an MS Word file on your computer by double-clicking it. If you are asked to choose an application to open the file with, select "Microsoft Word." You may close the file you have opened if you do not want to use it now and open another one instead.
