PowerPoint slide sorter / editor keyboard shortcut

Question

whats the keyboard shortcut to go to (and from?) the slide sorter and the editor?

Answer 1

ALT-5 in PowerPoint 2010 will switch you from Normal to Slide Sorter View and back again.

Answer 2

With PowerPoint 2010, you can do Alt + W then:

• I to go to the slide sorter
• L to go back to the normal view

You could also add the slide sorter and normal view to the "quick access toolbar", and then access them with Alt + 3, Alt + 4 (depends on the order of the toolbar).

Answer 3

Pressing CTRL+S in "Slide Show" mode will bring up a modal window with the list of slides. You can then select the slide you wish to jump to. Pressing F1 in "Slide Show" mode will bring up a modal window with the list of shortcuts (including this one). I hope this helps.

Answer 4

There's a two step solution to adding a keyboard shortcut for toggling between Slide Sorter View and back to Normal View.

1. Select View > and right click Slide Sorter. Select Add to Quick Access Toolbar. This adds the Slide Sorter key to your Quick Access Toolbar, obviously!

2. Once step 1 is completed, you can then initiate the new quick access button by using Alt + 'x' (where x stands for the position of the Slide Sorter Quick Access button in the Quick Access Toolbar). For example Alt + 4.

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

I think you're pretty much restricted to F6 and Shift + F6 to move clockwise and counter-clockwise through the various panes.

You could perhaps look at defining an action for this with AutoHotKey.
