But leenia left out the real goodies:

"Alt-A, V, X" and it's inverse "Alt-A, V, B"

Of coure one may need "Alt-A, A" or "Alt-A, R" and/or "Alt-A, C" sometimes.

And the really handy "Alt-I, k" which is nearly always to be followed by "Alt-I, I, Alt-O."

And the indispensible "Ctl-F9, =" with which one must learn what subsequent "F9," "Shft-F9," and "Ctl-Shft-F9" do.

In most recent Word versions, click on Help and search on "keyboard" to find a whole list of such shortcuts (unless you've moved up to Office 2007 in which there is no useful help for anything).
