Hello Jerry,

This list is certainly not all-inclusive but includes several of the more
often used font formatting keystrokes:

CTRL+Shift+F displays the Font dialog box with focus in the font type list.
You can then tab or shift+tab between the controls.
CTRL+D Same as CTRL+Shift+F.
CTRL+Shift+P Brings up the Font dialog box with focus in the point size edit
combo box.
CTRL+B for Bold.
CTRL+I for italics.
CTRL+U for underlining.
CTRL+Shift+D for double underlining.
CTRL+equals for subscript.
CTRL+Shift+Equals for superscript.
CTRL+Right Bracket Increase active font by (grow font) one point.
CTRL+Left Bracket Decrease active font (shrink font) by one point.
Note:  These are the two bracket keys to the right of the letter P.
Highlight text CTRL+Alt+H.
Hide or show text CTRL+Shift+H.
Change font case Shift with F3.  (Use this keystroke repeatedly to go
between no capital letters, all caps and first letter of words capitalized).
Font color Alt followed by H followed by F followed by C.
No shortcut key for strike through.  You can quite easily create one if you
often use it.  
CTRL+spacebar will remove most formatting.  It does not remove text
highlighting.  

There are several keystrokes for working with styles but the more commonly
used include CTRL+Shift+N for normal style, CTRL+Alt+1 through 9 for
headings levels 1 through 9.

If you are interested in getting a document with a complete list of Word
2013 commands including those with and without key assignments you can do
that in Word.  The document is quite large.  You can use the Find feature in
Word to find a specific command and whether or not it has an assigned
keystroke.  You can also choose to get a table of commands with current keys
assigned instead of all commands.  Here are the steps:

Use Alt+F8 to bring up the macros dialog box.
Tab to the "Macros in" combo box and use down arrow to "Word Commands." 
Tab to the Macro name box and press L.  
Use down arrow key several times to "List."  If you can type quickly enough
you can type the word List and move right to it.  Use down arrow to find it.
Tab to the Run button and press spacebar.
In the group of resulting radio buttons use down arrow to all commands.
If you prefer you can select the "current keyboard settings" radio button
and the resulting table will just show commands with key assignments.
Tab to the OK button and press spacebar.

Take care.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Another Formatting Inquiry

Morning all. I have another question regarding formatting in Word 2013. What
are the keyboard commands for changing the font style in a Word document
(curse you Bill Gates, and your ribbons!). I am using Windows 10, a Dell
laptop, and JAWS 17. Many thanks in advance.
Jerry
