Create PowerPoint Shortcuts

Here are some interesting PowerPoint shortcuts:

• To create a new presentation press Ctrl+N.
• To open an existing one press Ctrl+O.
• All done? Close your presentation using Ctrl+W.
• And to save it press Ctrl+S.
• Get out of the program all together using Alt+F4.

(By the way, this batch of shortcuts works with all Office applications.)

Let’s get the show started:

• Hit F3 and the slide show will start from the present slide.
• Ctrl+Q will close all slide show windows
• Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P will pause them.
• Ready to resume? Use Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R.
• Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Left will let you go backward through your presentation.
• Need to view the last viewed slide? That’s Ctrl+Alt+Left.
• Restart your current slides (works for your animations) using Ctrl+R.

Need some input in your PowerPoint presentation?

• Send it in with an automated message by pressing Alt+F, then D, then C.

And during your slideshow, you can still use shortcuts.

• Type the slide number you want and hit Enter and voila! You are magically taken to that slide.
• Want to pause and see only a black screen? Hit B.
• Prefer a white screen? Hit, you guessed it, W.
• To get back out of those, hit B or W, respectively.
