Use keyboard shortcuts to deliver PowerPoint presentations
Many users find that using an external keyboard with keyboard shortcuts for PowerPoint on Windows helps them work more efficiently. For users with mobility or vision disabilities, keyboard shortcuts can be easier than using the touchscreen and are an essential alternative to using a mouse. This article itemizes the keyboard shortcuts for PowerPoint on Windows.
We have a separate list of shortcuts to use while creating your presentation.
Notes:
-
The shortcuts in this topic refer to the US keyboard layout. Keys for other layouts might not correspond exactly to the keys on a US keyboard.
-
If a shortcut requires pressing two or more keys at the same time, this topic separates the keys with a plus sign (+). If you have to press one key immediately after another, the keys are separated by a comma (,).
