PowerPoint 101

[Deb]

For whatever reason I just can't seem to find what I am looking for. I am
using Microsoft 2000.

I know that Ctrl M will open the new slide window, but there's got to be a
better shortcut to open a new bulletted slide, or a new chart slide or a new
blank slide without going through the New Slide window.

Thanks!

I believe that Ctrl+M will open the same slide as previously opened. If you
opened a bulleted slide previously, then Ctrl+M will open a bulleted slide.

In PPT 2002 and 2003, the slide layouts are in a taskpane to the side of
your workspace, and in 2007, they're on a gallery dropdown from the Ribbon.
I don't know of any way to access them in 2000 other than the New Slide
dialog, though.

Doing a Ctrl-M then followed by Enter should give you a bulleted slide by
default, unless you have disabled the "New slide dialog".

To re-enable it, click Tools > Options.
Under Show, put a checkmark on New slide dialog.
Click Ok.

You can also memorise the hotkeys. For instance, Ctrl-M, follow by '8', will
allow you to jump to the Chart icon. While Ctrl-M, follow by '1' then '2',
will jump to blank slide icon.

Hi Michael

That's my experience when using 2007 but not 2003 - 2003 always gives a
bulleted text slide for ctrl+m. Which used to drive me crazy as I pretty
much never use that layout....
