Pro tip: Use this to ensure consistency across your presentation. Hit Control + Shift + C to copy the formatting of an object, then Control + Shift + V to paste the formatting onto another object. Just like you would copy and paste a whole object, this shortcut lets you copy just the formatting of an object. Pro tip: Add this shortcut to your Quick Access Toolbar to save even more time. This is actually less of a shortcut and more of a group of shortcuts. Hit Alt, H, G, then A to open up a full menu of incredibly useful shortcuts that let you align, distribute, and group objects on your slide (incredibly helpful for data or text heavy slides). Shortcut #4 | Open Align / Distribute / Group Menu Pro tip: Combine this with shortcut #7 to make quick font size changes to your text, even if that text is in different boxes. Hit Control A to select all the objects, slides, or text in a given area. This can be useful when wanting to make a change to multiple things at once (too obvious?). Shortcut #3 | Select All (texts, objects, or slides)
Pro tip: Combine this with Shortcut #8 to duplicate objects in a straight line. Select the object, then hold control and drag it away with your mouse. You can do this as many times as you want, and this can be faster than hitting Control C to copy and Control V to paste (or Control D to duplicate). This one lets you quickly copy an object. To use it, just hit Control Z to undo your last action and Control Y to redo the same action. This first one might be a bit boring, but it’s still incredibly useful.
