Windows 10: Keyboard shortcuts change or malfunction?

My keyboard shortcuts in Word seem to have changed from what it shown on the help page. "Control+B" no longer makes my text bold, but "Control+N" does, but that no longer creates a new document. I'm guessing the problem is either PC or keyboard related, rather than a change in the system. Can you advise?
