Tips
You can ask to be notified by a sound whenever an action is available (not available in Word Starter). To hear audio cues, you must have a sound card. You must also have Microsoft Office Sounds installed on your computer.
If you have access to the Internet, you can download Microsoft Office Sounds from Office.com. After you install the sound files, do the following:

Access keys let you quickly use a command by pressing a few keys, regardless of where you are in the program. Every command in Word 2010 can be accessed by using an access key. You can get to most commands by using two to five keystrokes. To use an access key:

Continue pressing letters until you press the letter of the command or control that you want to use. In some cases, you must first press the letter of the group that contains the command.
Note: To cancel the action that you are taking and hide the KeyTips, press Alt.
