What's inside

A faster way to command Word.

Eight ways the Bond Add In turns menu-hunting into muscle memory — every one built around the function keys.

F1F7

Easy Function Keys™

Open any pull-down menu and run its commands with short, memorable key sequences. F1 F1 Save, F1 F7 Print — the fastest way to run commands in Word.
(You can also use a mouse with all parts of the Bond Add In for Word.)

KDDM

Keyboard Drop Down Menu™

Map your favourite commands to any of 48 keys, across 12 menus. Press the menu key, then the command key — even pin recent documents to keys.
Rename menu titles to suit your needs - e.g. rename 'File' menu to 'Recent Files'.

Font selection made easy

See more fonts at a glance. Jump by first letter of the font, or section number, then use keyboard arrow keys to select the correct one.

Find

Advanced Find

Intuitive find-and-replace built for the keyboard, with enlarged buttons that keep it comfortable for mouse users too.

How it works

Two keys. That's the whole idea.

STEP 01

Press a menu key

Every top-level menu sits on a function key. F1 opens File, F2 Home, F3 Insert — the classic layout you already know.

F1 → File menu

STEP 02

Press a command key

Each command is on a function key too. So Save is F1 F1, Print is F1 F7. Learn a few and they become reflexes.

STEP 03

Or just search

Can't remember where something lives? Hold F1 and type the command. The relevant menus are automatically opened, displaying the command.
