Hello,

While in lecture I sometimes take notes on my MBpro in the notes section of
the powerpoint presentation. It would be useful if I knew the keyboard
shortcut for Next Slide while in editing mode of the ppt slides. I know there
are a ton of keyboard shortcuts for next slide while in presentation mode,
but I can't find one for editing mode. If anyone knows of one, please share.

using a mac. ppt 2004 mac edition. once boot camp supports vista i'll run
that and use the new office.
 
You should be able to press the "Esc" key to stop editing text, then navigate
to different slides with the arrow keys (Down and Up). See if this works.

nope that doesn't work. the only thing that works in normal mode is the
scroll down on the mouse (2 finger slide on mbpros) but i'm trying to
eliminate using the mouse. I'd like the cursor to be in the notes section,
then do a keyboard short cut or 2, and then have the cursor in the notes
section again.
 
ok that was useful. I was able to stop editing notes with Fn F6. but then
is there a keyboard shortcut to get back into the notes section on the next
slide??

I was able to hit fn f6 to get out of notes. then could use up and down
arrows to go to next slide.

any ideas how to get back into the notes section on the next slide?

thanks! you respond so much faster than the other mac powerpoint link you
posted.
 
ah, if i hit fn+f6 3 times it does a loop between outline, notes and slides.
i get it. to bad I can't combine 3 things in to one.

please suggest this at a group meeting for me.

You should understand that we're all just users like you. Some of us have this "MVP"
sticker next to our names; that just means that we're users who've hung out here and
helped others; we're not MS employeees.

I think that there's a way to send in suggestions/comments/requests under the Help menu
in Mac PPT. I'd definitely give that a shot.

On Windows 10, Shift-F6 cycles backwards, i.e. you move back to the Notes section. Maybe use a keyboard macro to combine the three keypresses (and maybe another to move to the previous slide).
