I have limited use for Microsoft Word, here they are;

1. Set heading styles
2. Use the bullet points
3. Pressing CTRL-enter to do a page break
4. Pressing CTRL-D to format fonts and other styles
5. Use the style editor to format headings
6. Draw borders and tables
7. Use the alignment tool to center, left-align or right align text
8. Use picture tool to control flow layout of text
9. Use the Paste-special feature to embed picture files in the document
10.Generate table of contents and indices.

Getting the list to 10 was actually a challenge for me, I didn't realize how little of MS word features I use. How about you?

I am not even trying to go for 10 points, but let me list out what i use most often:
1) page format ( to make the page horizontal)
2) Insert table ( just love this option)
3) Ctrl+ B
4) Ctrl+ c
5) Ctrl + S ( when i am working on pc)
6) save as ( to save in MS 2003, by doing so all my friends will be able to open the file)
7) Format paragraph ( to reduce line spacing)
8) Cntr + v
9) cntr + Z ( cut copy & paste has revolutionized work in offices & increased efficiency by 80% lol)
10) ctrl + p ( you can blame me for not being environmentally friendly & cannot find fault with documentation)
11)yes! bullets of course ( i use this a lot even though i don't have a gun license rasp)

now you know why i was not going for 10!!!!!

all shortcuts in word makes it very easy to use it. word has so many features that not everyone use all these. i use formatting, drawing and a few more tools. some options from tools and other menus are very helpful.

the content page,
copy & paste,
page break,
BOLD...

that's about all i use.

I use copy/paste, print preview, page view (text width, page width, etc.), word count, thesaurus, and fonts on MS Word. That's 6 features in Word - I couldn't think of any more than - that I mostly use now.

But back in school, I'd use the rest of its feature quite freely. Things like colors, inserting images and spreadsheets, paragraphs, buttons, borders, etcetera. :)

1. Spell check... I'm such a bad speller for a writer
2. Paste
3. Copy
4. Cut
Numbers 2 through 4 are designed to save my often sore fingers from extra or repetitive typing.
5. Columns
6. Numbering
7. The centering feature for text
8. The book fold printing feature
9. Page or column breaks
10. Undo, I make mistakes all the time. Deleting text I should keep.

I had a hard time coming up with 10 features as well.
