Any Equivalent to MS Word CTL-RETURN?

[Don]

This has got to be a pretty easy one, but I have not been able to find the
answer .......

Is there a way to insert a "page break" in a bullet list. In effect,
whatever follows the "page break" would be on a new page? For example if
there are 5 bullets and the "page break" inserted after number 3, bullets 1
through 3 would be on one page and 4 through 5 would be on the next.

I have used the "duplicate current slide", however I then have to delete
what I do not want on the slides; a bit of a waste of time.

Thanks!

Normally Ctrl+M will bring up a new slide, and you continue your data entry.
Just press the tab key to get to the next level of indent as indents normally
starts at the first level on a new slide.

Michael,

Unfortunately, his does not transfer the bullets after the break to the new
slide. It simply creates a new slide following the current one. I am
referring to the case where in the midst of a slide the user decides it
would look better over two slides and wants to split the existing
information.

Thanks anyway!

AFAIK, there is not away to do what you want to do.

Have you tried using the outline to enter your text instead of the slide? If
you do this, you can adjust where slides start and stop just as you want. If
you put your cursor at the beginning of the line to go on the next slide,
you can shift tab to demote the text until it creates a new slide. You will
need to add a new title to the slide, but once that is done, you can
re-adjust the first line to be indented to where you want.

Kathy's right. The ease of editing that you're looking for comes with using
the Outline:

Shortcut Keys:
SHIFT+TAB or ALT+SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW - Promote a paragraph
TAB or ALT+SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW - Demote a paragraph
ALT+SHIFT+UP ARROW - Move selected paragraphs up
ALT+SHIFT+DOWN ARROW - Move selected paragraphs down
ALT+SHIFT+1 - Show heading level 1
ALT+SHIFT+PLUS SIGN - Expand text below a heading
ALT+SHIFT+MINUS SIGN - Collapse text below a heading
ALT+SHIFT+A - Show all text or headings
SLASH (/) on the numeric keypad - Turn character formatting on/off

CTRL Enter will add a new Slide.

Another option is to click on the AutoFit options next to the text
placeholder and choose Split Text between 2 slides or one of the other
options.
