I think you'll say Yes to me if I ask you "Do you often get any obstacles when you're typing in MSO Word?". Exactly Yes, we often get obstacle when we are typing many word in MSO, especially the obstacle of "Hand Moving between Keyboard & Mouse". Why? Because sometimes, we need a mouse to active some commands and back again to keyboard to type many words. My opinion, it's very tire.
Fortunately, Microsoft Corp has been long provide us to understand how to use keyboard shortcuts as changer the mouse function in his site, even many sites has informed this KS from old day. But, there are to many shortcuts to understand and that are very imposible to remember all. My experinces, I just use some keyboard shortcuts to change mouse usage (remember it's just my experience because I usually use some KS that I need in typing, although in the fact I still use the mouse). So, I can reduce mouse usage to move anywhere I need even without the mouse (depended).
Let's see the Keyboard Shortcuts:
Ctrl+Arrow (left and right)
to move cursor from a word to another word
Ctrl+Arrow (up and down)
to move cursor from a paragraph to another paragraph
Ctrl+Shift+Arrow (left and right)
to block word instantly
Ctrl+Shift+Arrow (up and down)
to block a paragraph instantly
Ctrl+Backspace/Delete
to delete word instantly
Ctrl+Scroll (on mouse scrolling)
to zoom in/zoom out
Ctrl+F
to find a word
End
to move cursor on end sentence row
Home
to move cursor on first sentence row
Pg Up
to up page rapidly
Pg Dn
to down page rapidly
Ctrl+O
to open file
Ctrl+N
to new file
Ctrl+T
to move indent
Ctrl+A
to select all
Ctrl+C
to copy
Ctrl+X
to cut
Ctrl+V
to paste
Ctrl+S
to save
Ctrl+Z
to undo
Ctrl+Y
to redo
Ctrl+P
to print
Ctrl+Shift+( < / > )
to resize font
Ctrl+B
to Bold
Ctrl+I
to Italic
Ctrl+U
to underline
Alt+F4 or Ctrl+W
to close MSO
Esc

I strongly recommend you, don't hestitate to try something new on your keyboard. Maybe you can get another KS that you haven't known before.
Enjoy :-D
