Ctrl+T: Change Font (in PowerPoint)

Posted in Microsoft PowerPoint by estephen on July 2nd, 2007

It’s PowerPoint week this week at the Windows Keyboard Shortcut of the Day.

Today’s tip is quite handy when entering or editing text in PowerPoint: Press Ctrl+T to bring up the Font dialog box, where you can edit the font face, style, size, color, and special effects.

(One wonders why this eminently handly tip isn’t usable in Word, Excel, or Outlook. In Word, it’s useful for the hanging indent function — but how often do you use that? In Excel, it seems to do nothing at all. In Outlook, it functions just like the Tab key, so that’s a waste.)

    Howdy! I hope you don’t mind but I decided to publish your blog: http://www.zeigen.com/shortcuts/2007/07/02/font-powerpoint/ to my on-line directory website. I used, “Windows Keyboard Shortcuts » Ctrl+T: Change Font (in PowerPoint)” as your website headline. I hope this is acceptable with you. In the event you’d like me to change the title or perhaps remove it entirely, e-mail me at Kralicek@roggerxx.com. Thank you.
