PowerPoint - Shortcut Keys

Modified on Thu, 24 Sep at 10:44 AM

In all versions of Create we employ native menu keyboard shortcuts.

When you select ALT on your keyboard, letters in the ribbon names indicate the keyboard access to that ribbon’s functions. For example, ALT+C opens the Create ribbon. 

The keyboard shortcuts for each command are then displayed. To access a feature in the Create ribbon, press ALT-C and then the letters shown (for example to insert a table you would select ALT+CTI).
