Many users are familiar with keyboard shortcuts — yet there are no real shortcuts for tasks users need to perform all the time — this includes changing PowerPoint’s views or even aligning or reordering slide objects. Thankfully, there are many keyboard sequences that work for these tasks. Most sequences entail that you press two buttons — and then press a third button after a moment. So if the keyboard sequence is listed as Alt+S > H — then you must press the Alt and S keys together — let go those two keys and then press the H key.

When Callout shapes are used wisely, they can be impactors that convey a message. The attribution and positioning of the callouts has to be proper so that your audiences do not get lost. When inserted, Callouts take default formatting attributes from the Theme applied to the presentation, just like any other PowerPoint shape. You can later change their fill and/or outline and also apply a shape effect to them in the same way as you would do for any PowerPoint shape.

Adding or removing content within a table usually entails adding and removing table rows and columns, as required.
