I watched this on your website but I just HAD to come here to comment because I know that the align objects hot keys are gonna save me HOURS of work. THANK YOUUUUUU!!!
THANK YOU!!! Yes, the aligning shortcuts are the best (and why I often call it the million dollar shortcut). I also show you how to pull off impossible alignments inside my course if you are ever interested in that too :)
Great summary!!! Thank you.
Thx a lot, huge time savers! Very clear, just like your fantastic courses. I also like your transitions in this tutorial.
Of course, some shortcuts are different on non-US keyboards. That's why I changed my BE KB layout to US KB at work, now I'm gonna change this at home as well (the hard part is to put stickers on the keys).
And now it's time to start practicing a lot, it's the best way to memorize those cool shortcuts. :-)
Thanks Chris and you are on the right path. The more shortcuts you know, the faster you will become :). Great point about keyboard too, I always forget to shortcuts like this are always quoted using a U.S. keyboard. Cheers!
This is great! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for the comment!

Wow :) so many useful shortcuts :) never knew about the Eyedropper + Ctrl, that's so cool :)d
Thanks for the comment. Yes... it's often faster than waiting for a client to send you their colors too. I love your channel too by the way :). Cheers!
@@Nutsandboltsspeedtraining Hi sir, in here, 17:30 drawing straight line and 45 or 90-degree function by pressing shift doesn't work for me. Please help
Oh I re watched it again and resolve it ! ^_^ Just have to press shift first before press draw :) Thanks to you Love all of those and here is my sub to you
Thank you for wonderful content
Our pleasure!
thank you
you are the number 1!!!!!1 thank so much for this hepful video!!!!
You're welcome! Glad to hear you are learning your shortcuts! I also have a killer shortcuts course on UDEMY if you want to go deeper into the different types of shortcuts. You can check it out here: www.udemy.com/course/powerpoint-shortcuts
Thanks 🙏💕
Glad you enjoyed the shortcuts, thanks for the comment.
Hello Sir, thank you for this wonderful presentation. I have one question how to add the rectangular pan you have (which I can change font size and add a text box, etc, quickly) under the ribbon?
To do that you will need to edit your Quick Access Tool Bar. You can right-click the commands in your Ribbon and add them, and for the rectangle, you can find that in "Commands Not In the Ribbon" in the Custom Quick Access Toolbar section of PowerPoint. I demo how to do that in third video of my free PPT training series if you want to check it out: nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com/save-40-hours-in-powerpoint/
thanks
thx this saved me soooooooooooooooooooooo much time
Shortcuts are the fastest way to DOUBLE your productivity, so kudos for doing the research and figuring them out.
Hats Off🙏🙏
Thanks for the comment! The more shortcuts you know, the faster you will become :)
Thanks for this great video! Very helpful and always focused on productivity. 2 questions: (1) Do you know if there is a shortcut for centering an object on a page? (2) Are there any shortcuts to navigate between text boxes? Many thanks! 👍🏻💯
Yes to both of those.
1. Once you set up your alignment tool in the first position of your QAT 28:08, centering an object is Alt, 1, C.
As long as you only have a single object selected, the Alignment Tool uses your slide as the anchor object to force the alignment.
2. You can Tab or Shift + Tab through your tet boxes (and F2 / ESC to get in and out of them). You can also Ctrl + Enter through your placeholders (but only in one direction) if you are trying to knock out a presentation quickly.
I teach how to do all of this and more in my PowerPoint 3X Speed training course that you can access through our PowerPoint Pro Membership if you are interested.

@@Nutsandboltsspeedtraining Thank you very much indeed! 💪🏻🙂
Cool
Glad you liked it, thanks for the comment!
Wow! Lots of useful shortcuts! I am having trouble using the Increase/Decrease font size ones. I use both Office 2010 and 2013. Anyone know what could be the problem? Thanks ahead!
Glad you enjoyed the video. That's weird about your shortcuts, watch my other "shortcuts aren't working" video and see if one of those solutions fixes the problem for you. Those shortcuts should work for you. An alternate one to try (which isn't as good is) Crl + [ and Ctrl + ]
Thanks Nuts & Bolts , great video! I have exactly the same problem as Jean-Claude with my Office 2016, any further ideas on this ?
So great! Many time saving shortcuts. I know it's called 'speed training'...but is there a shortcut to slow it down? :) I will be referring back to this video often and sharing with co-workers.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Yes... I have a tendency to get excited about shortcuts :)The best way to slow down the video is to use an app like Video Speed Controller (that's the one I use). It's a Chrome app that allows you to speed up or slow down any video you play on your computer (I use it all the time to speed videos up). You can check it out here: chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/video-speed-controller/nffaoalbilbmmfgbnbgppjihopabppdk?hl=en
@@Nutsandboltsspeedtraining No need to download any apps to slow down the speed on youtube videos. You can just press the cog wheel on the youtube video and then the third choice - playback speed and then choose your wanted speed :)
I love PowerPoint 😆
The more shortcuts you know, the faster you will be :). Another good one is Ctrl + Shift + F10. That will take any open (non-minimized) presentations and snap them side by side.
If you want to learn more shortcuts, I created an epic post on them that you can check out here: nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com/powerpoint-tutorials/80-favorite-powerpoint-keyboard-shortcuts/
Could you tell me the short cut key for accessing menu keys in ppt in Mac? For e.g. ALT+N would be insert in PC, what’s the equivalent in MAC? Your help would be super appreciated.
Sorry I can't be of more help, I don't have a Mac in front of me to test it out. Normally you just have to substitute the Opt, Cmd and Shift Keys around to find the equivalent on a Mac, but sometimes the shortcuts can be quite different.
Apple icon > System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts > + then you can create your very own alignment shortcuts. Lifesaver
Hey Taylor , it took 5 days to edit the video??
I'm having trouble getting tip #25 (Align Object) to work on MacOS. Any pointers?
The Mac QAT works a bit differently (I was just helping one of my students with this). For the alignment tool (as of right now) you have to add the individual commands to your QAT and use your mouse to access them. Microsoft hasn't fully ported over the PC QAT shortcuts like this to the IOS system yet (which really sucks). Hopefully they will do this soon!
@@Nutsandboltsspeedtraining Yes, that's what I thought. This was the closest I could get my Mac to function like my Windows work computer. Thank you for the fantastic video.
You have soo quality content that you deserve to have like 5.000.000 Subs!! But the only thing I don't like is the price of your courses and products, they are like insane high...
Thanks for the comment and glad to hear you like our CZcams videos! Our courses get pretty advanced and are geared for hardcore users (hence the price). That said, if you are a student in college, in an MBA program or are living overseas, we do offer discounts on a case by case basis if you reach out.
17:30 draw straight line function by pressing shift doesnt work for me. Please help
Do you now how to send back a picture, all at once, not one thing at a time. At 15:10 in your video, suppose I just want the large gray square sent back automatically, I do not need to worry about managing the layering. I already now about Ctrl + Shift + [. I'm looking anything faster.
Hi, thanks for the presentation. Juste a simple question: isn't a shortcut to create a text zone?? This is the most regular action that you do in powerpoint! best,
I'm not 100% sure what you mean by a "text zone." You can type text into placeholders, shapes, and/or text boxes, but I have never heard of them called a "text zone" before.
Please show the slide select demo nd slide move demo in keyboard button
First you just need to click the slide in the thumbnail view on the left with your mouse (that selects it and activates the thumbnail pane). Then holding your CTRL key just hit the Up or Down arrow key on your key pad and that should move the slide(s) up or down in your presentation. Is that not working for you?
I cannot do Control Shift C and V ( Format painter) shortcut.
Whats the issue. I am using ppt 2016.
My guess is that another program on your computer is overriding those default shortcuts. Do you know if any other program is using that shortcut? Like a notes app, a message app or a language bar (those are the usual culprits). Check out my other video for help with that: czcams.com/video/AqPiqgQn6sk/video.html
is there a text-to-speech keyboard shortcut?
Do you mean Dictation or do you mean have the computer read to you what's on the screen? Alt, H, D1, D will open your dictation command in the latest version of Office, but if you need to use it a lot I recommend adding it to your QAT like I do with the alignment tool in shortcut #15.
WHY I CANNOT GET THE PDF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Sorry about that (we've been having trouble with the delivery system and are trying to fix it). I uploaded it to Google Drive that you can access here: drive.google.com/file/d/18bGGTTGDWOF9zc-jQfYsuyP7M8cQ8_ya/view?usp=sharing
Reduce the speed by 0.5x under the playback speed inside 3dots on top right corner of the video, Have a note and pen to take notes before starting... else there is high chance that we miss out or forget soon.
I'm still working on my speed, what do you think of the speed of my latest video? czcams.com/video/MRhWNttrXxU/video.html
Nuts & Bolts Speed Training I don’t know why you want to increase your speed! Enjoy what you are... no need to race😄.We already feel it’s too fast and reducing the speed by half to grasp what you teach😅
I didn’t look that link... prefixed my mind in someway... sorry. Just viewing it now. That speed is fine 😊
you can reduce the speed too on your computer.
Could you pls slow down? Many of your followers are non native.🙂 Tks for useful instructions.
Need louder voice
Haha... I assume you mean the opposite (I'm usually too loud).
Ki boki aso
Hope you learned a whole bunch of new shortcuts you can use to save time!
Speaks too fast and combines too many things in one video. Tutorials are best if kept short (within 5 mins). Most of the demonstrations also look thoughtful but come across as difficult (or impossible) to understand. "A" for effort though.
Thanks for the feedback... super helpful. You can see them in blog post format if that is easier here: nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com/powerpoint-tutorials/powerpoint-keyboard-shortcuts-to-save-time/
