Recently, many localized versions of Word have lost (some of) their well-established shortcuts. This appears to be a bug, and Microsoft is investigating. See https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/version-2409-build-1802520104-have-changed/dafaa412-5ce3-4b13-b694-703b98b73b85?messageId=7218fb5c-66a5-4909-91f2-3349c97edb81 .

As has been mentioned by other posters, you can restore shortcuts manually.
