PowerPoint Keyboard Shortcuts.md
I don't use PowerPoint very often (usually only when I am giving other people's lectures - I use Sumatra PDF for my own lectures), so I can never remember the keyboard shortcuts. Here are the useful ones: ### General Usage * Show keyboard shortcuts - `F1` * Start slide show from current slide - `Shift + F5` * Show task bar without cancelling slide show - `Ctrl + T` * Show all slides - `Ctrl + Mouse Wheel Down` or `g` * Black screen - `b` * Jump to slide - `type slide number and hit enter` ### Annotations * Pen (toggle) - `Ctrl + p` * Highlighter (toggle) - `Ctrl + i` * Laser pointer (toggle) - `Ctrl + l` (that is a lowercase L). Can also use `Ctrl + click and hold` to temporally turn arrow into a pointer. * Eraser (toggle) - `Ctrl + e` * Arrow (normal) mode - `Ctrl + a` * Erase all annotations on current slide - `e` * Hide, but don't erase annotations (toggle) `Ctrl + m` Be careful when practicing a lecture and using annotations - you will be prompted to save the annotations when closing PowerPoint. You probably want to say no so that the annotations aren't included in your slides and appear during your presentation. You might want to save them at the end of the lecture if you want the students to see a version that includes the annotations.

I don't use PowerPoint very often (usually only when I am giving other people's lectures - I use Sumatra PDF for my own lectures), so I can never remember the keyboard shortcuts.  Here are the useful ones:

### General Usage

* Show keyboard shortcuts - `F1`
* Start slide show from current slide - `Shift + F5`
* Show task bar without cancelling slide show - `Ctrl + T`
* Show all slides - `Ctrl + Mouse Wheel Down` or `g`
* Black screen - `b`
* Jump to slide - `type slide number and hit enter`

### Annotations

* Pen (toggle) - `Ctrl + p`
* Highlighter (toggle) - `Ctrl + i`
* Laser pointer (toggle) - `Ctrl + l` (that is a lowercase L).  Can also use `Ctrl + click and hold` to temporally turn arrow into a pointer.
* Eraser (toggle) - `Ctrl + e`
* Arrow (normal) mode - `Ctrl + a`
* Erase all annotations on current slide - `e`
* Hide, but don't erase annotations (toggle) `Ctrl + m`

Be careful when practicing a lecture and using annotations - you will be prompted to save the annotations when closing PowerPoint.  You probably want to say no so that the annotations aren't included in your slides and appear during your presentation.  You might want to save them at the end of the lecture if you want the students to see a version that includes the annotations.

### General Usage

* Start slide show from current slide - `Shift + F5`
* Show task bar without cancelling slide show - `Ctrl + T`
* Show all slides - `Ctrl + Mouse Wheel Down`
* Hide pointer/navigation menu `Ctrl + h`
* Black screen - `b`

### Annotations

* Pen (toggle) - `Ctrl + p`

* Laser pointer (toggle) - `Ctrl + l` (that is a lowercase L)
