MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / January 2007Cannot use CTRL and individually select letter in several places at the same time

As well as what Glenn said you can also do this to change a series of letters to one format Select a letter and set the format you want DOUBLE click the format painter icon (paint brush) Select the other letters in turn (they should change format) Esc when youre done This actually works better than ctrl click would because you can work across several slides if you so wish Signatureemail john AT technologytrish.co.uk "Glass" action buttons - http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/pptbuttons.html Personalised calendars - http://technologytrish.co.uk/calendars > In Word I can hold down the CTRL key and select several different > letters in different places in the document and format those selected [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Thanks, > Jeff |
