Ms Office Tune Up

Shifty Control of Views

Here’s where the fun starts. You can “modify” the effect of clicking on any of these buttons by holding down the SHIFT key or CTRL key while you click each button. This gives you a number of additional views you can quickly shift to. Here are the main commands.

Shift-Click Slide Show

Quick access to the Set Up Show Dialog

The Set Up Show dialog is accessible from the Slide Show tab, but getting at it by shift clicking the Slide Show button, changing a setting or two, and then using the same (un-shifted) button to launch slide show has a certain conservation of movement that you may appreciate.

Shift-Click Slide Sorter

Switches to the Handout Master View

Handout masters are one of the lesser-used features in PowerPoint, as the default settings are well chosen, but if you need to customize that default this is the view for you. Whether you need this style of quick access, well, again that’s up to you.

Shift-Click Normal

Switches to the Slide Master View

Shifting between Normal and Master View quickly is one of the most useful of these “party tricks.” If you find yourself making master design changes and keep flipping back to normal view to check how your modifications are working – this is a terrific time saver.
