F.Y.I. Keyboard Shortcuts

[Lenny]

In case some didn't know, by pressing F1 during a show, you'll see a list
of shortcuts like you mentioned and others.

Great post! PowerPoint has so many undocumented keystrokes, it's nice
to get them all in one place. Here's a few extra, as well as some
comments:

If you've got a newfangled keyboard, there's menu key that will do
this also.

True in all programs, but in PPT this also works for some of the
toolbars. For example, Alt-U opens the AutoShape sub-menu on the
Drawing toolbar (if it's visible).

Select the text in an object F2

Select the Font dropdown box Ctrl-Shift-F
Select the Point size dropdown box Ctrl-Shift-P
Duplicate the current slide(s) Ctrl-Shift-D
Remove text formatting Ctrl-Shift-Z
Pickup formatting Ctrl-Shift-C
Apply formatting Ctrl-Shift-V
Increase text size Ctrl-Shift->
Decrease text size Ctrl-Shift-<

Add Date and Time Alt-Shift-D or Alt-Shift-T
Insert Slide Number Alt-Shift-N or Alt-Shift-P

Trivially, most of the text formatting keystrokes are there
Bold/Unbold Text Ctrl-B
Italic Ctrl-I
Underline Ctrl-U
Superscript Ctrl-Shift-= (+)
Subscript Ctrl-=

Probably not worth mentioning, but for folks who have used Windows a
long time all the old windows commands are there, like Alt-F10 (max
window), Alt-F5 (Restore Window) etc.

A few mousish things:

Alt-Drag a toolbar icon to move it to a new toolbar.

Shift-click a view icon (in the lower left corner) to move to the
respective master

Ctrl-Click the SlideShow icon (or menu item) to get a sort of
mini-slide-show view. (This also works for Rehease timings).
