Most of these shortcuts work in nearly all Windows applications (web browsers, word processors, etc.). Some of them however are Microsoft word only (such as inserting a manual page break).
The "logo" key refers to the Windows logo key (between the ctrl & alt buttons). An "input box" is some sort of button or text field that you as the user interact with.
