Can I get F4's functionality back in PowerPoint 2003?

[JRL]

In previous versions of Powerpoint, the F4 key functioned well to repeat last
actions. Now with 2003, it hardly functions, and never with graphics -- where
I need it most. Is this just a configuration issue? Or has the function
disappeared?

Try Ctrl + Y. I think that might be what you're looking for.

Tried Ctrl+Y just now, saddly no joy. I'm running Office 97 at home, have
2003 but fear to install it with so many "improvements" that make it less and
less workable. Drat...

You know, I had some users at my office complain of the same thing. But when
they went to show me what it was that wasn't working, it worked just fine.

There *was* something that didn't work exactly the same with the F4, but we
found a workaround. I'll try to remember to ask the users what it was that
wasn't responding as expected to the F4...
