Word:

New Document
Open File

Cursor Back (Jump Cursor) (Undo Redo) [This jumps to the cursor back to where it was last. What this command literally does is an undo, then undoes the undo, changing nothing, but leaving the cursor in its previous position.]

Clean Up Email [This deletes the > signs within paragraphs, then autoformats a document. Note that this matter will change depending on your autoformat settings within Word.]

Save As/That
Save (As) Top/Second [This opens the Save As window and names the file the top or second line]
Save (As) Top (First) (Word) /Second 1-20 [This opens the Save As window and names the file the number of words of your choice starting from the beginning of the top or second line]
Save As 1-20 [This is a quicker way to say the above "Top" macro.]

Look In [This opens the Open File window and drops down the Look In list.]
Go (Look In) <LookinDrivesFiles> [This opens the Open File window and takes you directly to a category of files]
Go (Look In) <LookinDrivesFiles> <a-z, Alpha-Zulu>

Look in Drives Files:
A/C/D/E/CD/Zip/Desktop/Download/My Computer/My Documents/My Images/My Data/My Common/Program Files/Network/Kim/Eric/Kim common/Eric common/TRN Images
Note: You can also say the word "Drive" after A, C, D, E,C, D, and Zip. Also note that the last few files are very specific to my machine. You will probably want to delete some of these and add some of your own.

Get <Get Files> [This allows you to open a file directly. To open a particular file you first have to add it to the macro. To do this, use the "Add Get " macro when you are in Windows Explorer.]
Get <My Documents Get Files> [This also allows you to open file directly, but only if that file is in my documents. It is easier to add filenames to this macro, however and so you can use this one for temporary files. Say "Add Get" when you are in Wordto add any number of files.]

Get (Look In) <My Documents Filename> [This opens the Open File window to My Documents, then chooses the file name of your choice and opens it. This command is a useful shortcut if you know the exact name of the file you want to open. The following command does the same, but continues another level down to allow you to directly open a file that is in a folder that is in my documents. Note that you do not have to say the file extension, just the name. Note: This will not work until you add your own folders using the following "Add Get" macro.]
Get (Look In) <My Documents Filename> <a-z, Alpha-Zulu>
Get (Look In) <My Documents Folder> <My Documents Filename> [Note: This will not work until you add your own folders and filenames using the following macro.]
Add Get/Folder/File/Subfolder [This allows you to add files to the <Get>, <My Documents Folder>, <My Documents Filename>, and <My Documents Subfolder> lists. Currently, it has my folders in it, which will do you do good. Use this macro to erase my folders and add your own.]

Last/Show (Recent) File(s) (Document) (Documents) ["Last File" brings up the last file access Word. "Show Files" drops down the menu that lets you choose from recently accessed files.]
Get File (Show File) (File) (Doc) (Document) (Recent File) (Recent Document) 1-10

Show Date [This brings up the window that allows you to choose a default date style.]
Today's Date [This macro returns the date and presses enter twice. The following macro simply returns the date.]
Date Stamp
Sincerely/Regards/Cheers/Best/Take Care <Name> [This and the next two macros will
end a letter. You have to put your own name in the name list for this macro and delete mine.]
Another/Insert/Last/New/Next Sincerely/Regards/Cheers/Best/Take Care <Name> [This and the next macro allow you to move the cursor, then add your letter ending.]
Another/New/Next Two Sincerely/Regards/Cheers/Best/Take Care <Name>
Quote x [This returns "x"]

Straighten    1-10    Lines     [This removes hard linebreaks -- this is especially useful in formatting text copied from other sources like e-mail.]
Down    Straighten    1-10    Lines      [This and the next command combine going down a number of lines with the above straighten command.]
Down    1-5    Straighten    1-10    Lines
Remove Angles     [This removes the close angle brackets e-mail programs use to indicate a previous message.]

Undo/Redo That/That 1-10 (1-10 Times)

Arrange All (Horizontal Documents) (Horizontal Pages) [This, like the global command "Horizontal Windows" arranges open Word documents so you can see all of them at once.]

Please    Find/Replace/Go to/Sort    ["Please Find" brings up the Find window, "Please Replace" brings up the Replace window, "Please Go to" brings up to go to window, which allows you to specify a line or page to jump to. "Please Sort" brings up the sort window, which allows you to sort the lines in a document alphabetically.]

Font Size/Type/Style [These macros open the Word:Font window where you change font style, type and size. From here you can see what these font attributes are and/or change them. See the Word: Font section below to see the commands you can say within the Font window. The following six sets of macros let you change the attributes directly without going through the Word: Font window.]

/Delete/Backspace/Select/Times Roman (Times New Roman)/Aerial 1-20 [This is a quick way to select and format text by the word. For example, "Bold 7" makes the seven words to the right of the cursor bold. "Blue 2" makes the two words to the right of the cursor blue. (See the Moving the Mouse section for more commands that combine selecting and formatting text.]
Turn (Font) (Next)/Last 1-20  [This is analternate way to say the above command. It also allows you to format words to the left of the cursor using the "Last" command.]

/Delete/Backspace/Select/Times Roman (Times New Roman)/Aerial 1-20 1-20 [This allows you to select and format words on both sides of the cursor in one command. For example, "Underline 4, 2" underlines the four words before and the two words after the cursor.]
(Turn (Font) 1-20 1-20 ) [This is an alternative way to say the above command]

Double (Two)/Triple (Three)/Quadruple (Quad) (Four) Stars/Bracket/Braces/Paren (Parentheses) [This and the next three commands combine the steps you need to put multiple and/or colored stars, brackets etc. into text. See the Moving the Mouse section commands that combine these with selecting text. These are useful editing commands.]
 Stars/Bracket/Braces/Paren (Parentheses)
 Double (Two)/Triple (Three)/Quadruple (Quad) (Four) Stars/Bracket/Braces/Paren (Parentheses)

Delete  [This deletes whatever is highlighted and changes the font color. This is a useful editing command.]

Delete 1-10 Times 1-40 [This deletes the first number of characters at the beginning of the second number of lines. The command essentially gets rid of indents. It is useful for reformatting text that comes from e-mail.]

Word/Line/Paragraph/All (Select All) 
 Word/Line/Paragraph/All (Select All) [This is an alternate way to say the above command.]
Word/Line/Paragraph/All (Select All) Point

Make (Turn) That (Font) (It)  and/or and/or <Font Style> [The
"and/or" is not part of macro, but is just a shorter way of depicting this type of macro. For instance, you can say "Make That Blue," "Make That Century Gothic Teal," "Make That Century Gothic 12 Red," or "Make That 10 Bold" Note that if you specify more than one parameter, they must be in order -- Font Type always comes before Font size, and style, and Font Size always comes before Font Style. In addition, you can say this and the following for macros with two "" words. For instance, "Make That Bold Blue," or "Make That Green Underlined"]
Make (Turn) <Object>  and/or and/or <Font Style> [Examples: "Make Sentence Green," "Make Word Bold Underlined," "Make Paragraph Times New Roman 12 Shadowed"]
