THE Useful PowerPoint Tip

Posted 2003-05-07 08:14 AM in Web Services.

Here’s a useful tip I thought everyone should know:

When a slide is selected in PowerPoint (either in Normal or Slide Sorter), while F5 will start the slide show at the FIRST slide, pressing Shift-F5 will start the slide show at the CURRENTLY SELECTED slide.

If I see one more person using that TINY slide show button in the tiny lower-left-corner of PowerPoint…:)

Also, just for fun, here's the famous PowerPoint that Abe Lincoln used at the cemetary dedication at Gettysburg.

After working at DM for eight years (I was employee zero), I picked up more than my fair share of PPT skills (even though I eschewed PPT for my last two years there).

Ya, I LOVE the slide number tip...I number my slides in the slide master, and keep a back pocket of 10 or so slides...when I want to hop to a slide, rather than the unprofessional SWITCH out of PowerPoint and back, I just remember where I was, type the slide number, and hop back. Good stuff, thanks Don!

From what version of powerpoint does the shift F5 shortcut work? I have an office 2000 version on my machine on which it doesn't work.

Good thing such an obviously useful shortcut is so, er, obvious. There should be a giant "play" triangle on the toolbar. Usability 101.
