Helpful PowerPoint Tip: T is for Type
It is PowerPoint Week at the
Windows Keyboard Shortcut Blog. Yesterday's tip is a big time saver, especially if you have converted to PowerPoint 2007.
Remember Ctrl+T? I forgot all about this helpful shortcut in PowerPoint. Go ahead and try Ctrl+T: PowerPoint will bring up a Font dialog box, where you can easily change your fonts, style, size, color effects, and color.
Save Time... I didn't use Ctrl+T much pre-2007, because my font menus were always front and center. In PowerPoint 2007, though, the font tool bar isn't always immediately available in the ribbon. And floating over the text box waiting for font commands to slowly appear like a ghostly apparition can take too long.
And Gain More Control... When you use Ctrl+T in PowerPoint 2007, you will also be able to adjust kerning and character spacing. Save time and get more control -- these are two great reasons to make Ctrl+T a PowerPoint habit!
