how to set custom shortcut from keyboard?

[Giff]

Hi all,

I am used to some shortcut, like ctrl+s for saving

in PPT I have to press MAIUSC+F12, how can I change that?

thanks a lot

You can't set your own shortcut keys in PowerPoint

ok

(other than by using an

add-in),

I might investigate

but Ctrl+S saves your PPT file as it does in most other Windows

programs.

no, in my ppt 2003 it selects the option "underlined text"

thanks anyway

Is this an English version of PPT and do you have English set as the editing
language?

it's in italian

but it does not matter, I set the auto-save option

Ah. Then the control key combinations will probably be different.

well, yes, but for the rest of my windows 200 applications ctrl+s works,
not with ppt

On the right side of the menu, you'll see the control

keys for each of the commands.

yes, I know, and it says maiusc+f12, which is fine but I would have
preferred the other way

There's no autosave feature in PowerPoint; there's something that SEEMS like it
might be that, but it's not.

thanks, this was an important tip, so, what does actually do that option
I have set?

OK, I understand. Well, almost. What's "maiusc"?

ops sorry

"shift"

If PowerPoint crashes, it can sometimes restore your presentation to what it was
before the crash. The setting tells it how often to save information that lets it do
that.

For example, if you set it to 10 minutes, it will save after you've been working on
the presentation for 10 minutes. If PowerPoint crashes five minutes after that,
you'll only lose five minutes of work, not fifteen.

well that's what I need so I am happy thanks
