Have I gotten your attention yet? I’m telling you that you don’t have to waste time taking one hand from the keyboard, placing it on the mouse, moving the mouse around and navigating menus, clicking on buttons, etc., then moving the mouse back to the original text and continuing typing. If you are willing to spend some time learning some tricks, there are ways to perform many common functions in Word using the keyboard.
You don’t have to move your hand from the keyboard to the mouse in order to save files, open files, bold text, move around to the top and bottom of documents, etc. There are ways to perform these functions without worrying with the mouse.

Italicize text: CONTROL-I
Underline text: CONTROL-I
Perform all text formatting: ALT-O, then F.
