I also use the "windows" key + d to minimize all windows and take you straight to your desktop. You can hold down the Ctrl key and then press the arrows to skim through your document word-by-word with the left and right keys.

Re: Keyboard Shortcuts for Word Documents
I love the shortcut keys and use them all the time. Most of them are easy to remember because they go by the initial, i.e. Ctrl s = save, Ctrl f = find etc.

Here are some more that I use:

When you are in a document and press Ctrl F2, it will bring you to "Print Preview". Press Ctrl F2 again and it brings you back to your original view.

For line spacing highlight the text and then press Ctrl 1 for single space, Ctrl 2 for double space and Ctrl 5 for 1.5 spacing. I like to use this one.

Quick tip for changing case. Highlight a word or phrase and press Shift F3 and it will change the case, press Shift F3 again and it changes to another case. This works in Word and PowerPoint, but doesn't seem to work in Excel.

Quick tip for changing font size. Highlight a word or phrase and press Ctrl + Shift and use the ‘less than’ key (<) or ‘greater than’ key (>) to change your font size smaller or larger.

Quick tip for using superscript and subscript. Highlight a word or number and press Ctrl and the plus sign (+) for subscript. Press Ctrl + Shift and the plus sign (+) for superscript. You can toggle this key to change it back.

You can lock your computer quickly by pressing the Windows key and the 'L' key.
