Keyboard Shortcuts
Sometimes using the keyboard is quicker than using
the mouse.Shortcut keys can help
you bypass menus and carry out commands directly. You can use shortcut
keys in many ways with PowerPoint, from accessing commands and toolbar
buttons to inserting a new slide. Shortcut keys are sometimes listed next
to the command name on PowerPoint menus. For example, on the Edit
menu, the Find command lists the shortcut CTRL+F.
