Knowing the keyboard shortcuts included in the Microsoft Office suite applications will help you manage your documents much faster, and as a consequence, be more productive. Note that the shortcuts that Microsoft proposes for its applications on Mac are scarce, especially if we compare them with the Windows version. However, the company insists that most of the shortcuts for Windows that are activated by the Control key, work on Mac when using the Cmd key. In any case, if you are an Office and Mac user, this compilation will be very useful to you.
