Using Keyboard Shortcuts in PowerPoint 2007

In an earlier post, we covered keyboard shortcuts for PowerPoint 2003.  Today, we’ll look at the differences in PowerPoint 2007.

CTRL Key

Just like PowerPoint 2003, you can use the CTRL key for quick access to features. 

ALT Key

The big difference between PowerPoint 2003 and 2007 is the ALT key feature.  When you click on the ALT key in PowerPoint 2007, you get visual cue for all of the available shortcuts.  This makes sense since this version of PowerPoint uses the ribbon toolbar and not a dropdown menu.

To activate a feature, select ALT and then the letter or number associated with the feature.
