Which keyboard shortcut is used to make the selected text bold in MS Word 365?

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Ctrl + B

Explanation:

• In MS Word 365, the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + B is used to make the selected text bold.
• This shortcut is one of the most commonly used formatting shortcuts in word processors to emphasize text by making it bold.
• Simply select the text you want to make bold, and press Ctrl + B to apply the bold formatting.

Information Booster:

• The Ctrl + B shortcut can be toggled on and off, meaning you can press it again to remove the bold formatting from the text.
• You can also access the bold button in the Home tab of the MS Word ribbon for manual formatting.

Additional Knowledge:
(a) Ctrl + I:

• Ctrl + I is the shortcut to italicize the selected text, not to make it bold.

(c) Ctrl + D:

• Ctrl + D opens the Font dialog box, allowing you to change the font style, size, and effects, but it does not directly make the text bold.

(d) Ctrl + U:

• Ctrl + U is used to underline the selected text, not to make it bold.
