When completing forms etc on web pages I sometimes wish to enlarge words and
also sometimes underline certain words by using the keyboard. how do I do
this?
I appreciate this question will reveal my ignorance, but no matter.

Unless a form on a webpage has an option to format text........you can't.
The form text is controlled by the design of the web page.

Now if you mean you want to format text on say a variety of text/word
documents on your computer with the keyboard that is really controlled by
the editor you are using.

That is something you can only do if you are allowed to type in (x)html
markup, which is highly unlikely in the case of simple web forms.

Forums and similar web services let you do this, but for most of the time
you are restricted to using capitals or special symbols for emphasising
parts of you text. You are not in complete control of formatting, like you
are when using your desktop word processor. Keyboard shortcuts in web apps
are not yet very common.

In short: Every web service or web app is different, there is no standard as
to what formatting, if any, they will let you perform, neither is there any
universal keyboard shortcuts in place. Internet Explorer has keyboard
shortcuts, but they apply to the browser itself - not the contents of web
pages displayed.
