There are over 40 keyboard shortcuts for editing text or cursor movement in a document that are listed below. They cover some of the things that people do the most and are intended, as much as possible, to be comparable to the similar keystrokes in Microsoft Word. Using keystrokes will also change the options displayed within the toolbar (example on the right)

There are other methods of formatting your document:

• The Form Letter Menu and SubMenus
• The Form Letter Tools Palette
• Use the context menu to alter the selected object (text, image, table) by right clicking it.
