If you want to perform actions quickly in Word by pressing a single key or combination, what feature would you use?

• A. Quick Access Key
• B. Hotkey
• C. Keyboard Shortcut
• D. Macro

Answer: (C)

Using keyboard shortcuts is the way to run Word commands with a single key or a short key combo. This approach lets you perform actions instantly without touching the mouse, by triggering built-in commands like saving, copying, or printing with familiar key presses. You can also customize shortcuts for your most-used commands so your workflow stays fast and smooth. While a macro can automate a series of steps and can be tied to a shortcut, it goes beyond a simple one-key command, making keyboard shortcuts the best fit for quick, direct actions. Quick Access Key and occasional uses of the term hotkey describe related ideas, but the standard, most straightforward method for quick actions in Word is a keyboard shortcut.
