Is there a list of keyboard quick commands [shortcuts] for microsoft
office for mac [OSX] that demonstrates the equivalents from PC?

Surely it's in Mac's "help" (or whatever they call it). These shortcuts
are in the Windows Word's Help.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Not sure about the Mac Word version, but the PC version actually has a macro
that you can run to get a complete listing of all keyboard shortcut
commands. In Word XP the steps are:

1. Click the "Tools" menu, select "Macro", then "Macros".
2. In the "Macros in" dropdown, select "Word Commands".
3. Scroll down and select "List Commands".
4. Click the "Run" button.

You will be provided with a dialog box asking which commands you want.
Hopefully there is an equivalent in Mac, but since I haven't even seen one
since 1992, I am not sure.

You can also run that macro on a Mac, or have a friend run it for you. The
main difference, however, is that PC users hit control-[letter] while Mac
users do command-[letter] with the command key being the apple key or the
key with the strange pretzel-ish symbol on it. Aside from that, the
keyboard shortcuts are mostly the same, so there's little need for an
equivalency list. This MVP FAQ will give you more info:

(Instead of right-clicking, mac users can control-click to access contextual
menus.)
