How do I enable PPT 2003 keyboard shortcuts (e.g., Alt-R-G to group objects)
in PPT 2007?
 
Zach,
Don't think you can but I may be wrong. I think there is a new shortcut to
group objects though : Ctrl+G.
 
Ctrl-G is to bring up the Grid and Guides.
It should be Ctrl-Shift-G.

Tohlz,
Ctrl+shift+G and Ctrl+shift+H work in 2003, is it still the same in 2007?
Just gone to Echo's site there she says Ctrl+G to group objects (number 22
in the list of new features). Can't test it here as I do not have 2007
installed.
 
Yup, in PowerPoint 2007, it will be Ctrl-G to group, and Ctrl-Shift-G to
ungroup.

Sorry, i mean no. The keys will be different in PowerPoint 2007 (which would
be Ctrl-G to group, and Ctrl-Shift-G to ungroup as i have mentioned on the
above post)

Hi guys,

The other day when I had a problem doing some marquee, John told me about
the "select multiple object" command. I was so happy about it that I
instantly added that command to the drawing toolbar.

Today I learn about the shortcut keys. Looks like there are at least three
ways to select/group multiple objects.

(B) A little known PPT feature?

(C) Shortcut keys

Echo also told me 'PPT 2007 has a nice "selection and visibility" task pane,
which negates the need for select multiple.' (Source: My thread on "Why
can't I move multiple objects by forming a box with my mouse?" of Aug 2.)

I'll keep a collection of techniques. ;)

Regards,

Epinn

Click to expand...

Alt + G G G

Tip: press and HOLD the alt key for a second or so. The keyboard commands you
can use for each option will appear. It's nicely done.
 
Thanks Epinn (and Echo S!). The tip on 'select multiple objects' button is
great *and* I learned how to name the objects - my life is going to get so
much easier. Yay!
