Climbing the “Shortcut Mountain”

Inside this PowerPoint shortcuts quick-lesson series, we’ll focus on climbing up the PowerPoint “Shortcut Mountain,” which we explain in the short video below.

This mountain represents the four different types of PowerPoint shortcuts you need to learn to accomplish 80% or more of everything you do in Microsoft PowerPoint, using your keyboard.

At the bottom of the mountain you have your Hold Shortcuts, which are your classic keyboard shortcuts and the only type that most people know.

As you will see, these are the hardest to learn as you have to memorize them.

The rest of the mountain represents your biggest shortcut opportunity: These are what I call “Visible Keyboard Shortcuts.”

You do not need to memorize them first (for the most part) to immediately start using them and speed up everything you do. We’ll show you some key “Visible Keyboard Shortcuts” in the lessons ahead!
