[@pchatterjee4150]

This is very useful and helpful. Thank you so much, Paul!

[@einatblackrose]

This is incredibly helpful! After years of using PP I still learned some very useful tips I didn't know before, and all of them are time-saving and useful in every presentation. Your explanations are great and easy to understand. Thanks a lot.

[@romualdulcyfer]

Great job ! At the very beginning seems obvoius but if combined and applied often makes me much more efficent ! Love it

[@AnalystAcademy]

Great to hear!

[@mercccccc]

Marvelous. F4, alt shortcut, Ctrl Shift Copy&Paste

[@JeetJhaveriD]

Where have you been all my life? I could have saved 100s of hours of my life and gotten several promotions if I'd seen this before.

[@KameshwarChoppella]

Oh wow. I didn't know the shift+drag and shift +ctrl+drag. Thank you!

[@ashutoshpandey9105]

you are a hero. Love from India.

Thank you!!

[@robertray5293]

quite wonderful! stop saying how boring--you're a genius~

[@TheRescueDogs]

Learned some great tips. Thanks so much! I have a Mac, and I was able to translate most of these, but another video pointed out the ribbon shortcuts only work on PCs. Bummer! I just wanted to mention as a Mac user that it's always helpful when videos mention that in the video or the description so Mac users know not to even try. But I did love the tips. Thanks!!!

[@AnalystAcademy]

Thanks Donna that's some helpful feedback! In case it's helpful, the free course on our website comes with a cheat sheet of the top 50 powerpoint shortcuts, but there's also a mac version of the cheat sheet as well.

[@TheRescueDogs]

@@AnalystAcademy - Thanks! I will check it out!

[@AnalystAcademy]

Update - dropping a new video on this soon!!

[@LeadingTheCheer]

Woah, I didnt know about the F4 command, gonna use that tomorrow :)

Awesome, those shortcuts will save so much time. Thanks a lot Paul

[@adamcharlottelotan4558]

Hi Paul, lovely, clear presentation: we learnt a lot! Thank you.

[@8enable]

Most of this was new to me & not boring. The worlds best hack for improving productivity is to get better/faster at typing Boring? Maybe Doesn't change the fact that its true!

[@bedofsunflowers1194]

thank you so much for the tips!

[@yilei6983]

Really great hacks and haven’t known any of those. Thanks!

[@madras61]

Great video on PowerPoint tips. I surely learnt a lot and well practice and reduce my time to develop slides

[@yogeshwarik1026]

This was amazing to learn, easy to understand, and I enjoyed the process. Thank you.

[@rishiraj8101]

Simply wow! F4 & Distribute Added to my arsenal Like your way of teaching🎉

[@DennisPinpin]

Please stop second guessing your audience and apologizing. In the same way we don’t practice that in public speaking, it’s also not a good practice in a video. Me, I’m learning lots of new things. Those who don’t want to learn just allow them to wander off.

[@mariesudan6501]

So helpful thank you very much . Would you have a video or document to translate those commands into a Mac ? Thank you very much

[@AnalystAcademy]

Yes! The free 5-day course on our website comes with a Mac version of our top 50 PowerPoint shortcuts cheat sheet.

[@AnalystAcademy]

Update - new video on this topic coming soon!!

Thank you!!

[@sergey_simonov789]

The best video i ve watched in my entire life

[@AnalystAcademy]

Lol wow!

[@rojasantiago89]

Fantastic!

[@Mirorulez]

Incredible

[@moorabinda]

Very helpful video! Quick question - when designing my slide, the 'Click to add text' stays in the background - I know it doesn't appear when I'm presenting the slide, but I notice your slides don't have it showing - have I missed a step, or should I just ignore it?

[@AnalystAcademy]

Head into your slide master and delete the placeholders - should do the trick!

[@moorabinda]

@@AnalystAcademy appreciated! Love the channel 👌🏾🇦🇺

[@jobbyjobba2907]

hi thank you for the video, really helpfull! Consulting company should make intensive training with your video, they might save seconds or minutes per day on consultant, but for x thousands consultants on one year? I just have a question ; 'm working on mac as well, and the "alt" and "F4" tricks are not working for me. Do you have an idea of what it could be?

[@AnalystAcademy]

Thank you! We actually do give trainings to consulting companies (and other companies) quite regularly on this exact thing. For Mac you may want to check out the free shortcuts cheat sheet on our website. When you get the email there is also a link to download a Mac version. Should help a lot!

[@clarenceonyekwere5428]

Thank you for this,. Also what app did you use to create the mini powerpoint videos on each page of your slide?

[@kuryo193]

Are the alt shortcuts similar to excel? The formats look similar from another video I just watched

[@AnalystAcademy]

Yes! Many of the shortcuts are the same or similar.

[@nehakarna7494]

Awesome

[@abdulbasithashraf5480]

Correct way would be to align right. Not left [Hack 6]

[@AnalystAcademy]

You are right, that was a mistake. Good catch!

[@Techie-in-Cloud]

you are guru

[@hannah816]

Is there anyway of doing 3:18 section on Mac?

[@AnalystAcademy]

No ribbon shortcuts on Mac unfortunately. But if you haven't already, check out this video for Mac users: kzbin.info/www/bejne/baPGpYB-lNiZoq8

[@kuryo193]

Do Microsoft provide an analysis of the buttons you use most?

[@AnalystAcademy]

Not that I'm aware of but that would be helpful!

[@mohammadakibnawaz4321]

Ohhhh my god! You’re telling me that i didnt need gridlines and hours or zooming in to align this? 😮

[@user-ir3fd8sb7u]

when I hit F4 shows application windows (on Mac) can't get the right short cut can you help please?

[@AnalystAcademy]

Check out this video instead 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/baPGpYB-lNiZoq8

[@sachinbs9140]

Cool

[@AnalystAcademy]

Thanks!

[@julianmitchell6488]

What about Macs?

[@httr21skins]

Good stuff but why not use ctrl+A to select all? You don't have to worry about header text in this example

[@AnalystAcademy]

You're right! That would have been faster.

[@PBR060661]

Paul, what about consultants who use Powerpoint as part of Microsoft 365 on MacBook? None of your hacks work for them.

[@spongebobby188]

I knew all of these hacks...guess I'm a pro and didn't realise! ha

[@don_huzan]

Extreme basics….

[@zakharprotsiuk8439]

Do you know how to activate ribbon shortcuts for mac users?

[@AnalystAcademy]

No ribbon shortcuts on Mac unfortunately. You can download the shortcuts cheat sheet from our website and it comes with a Mac version, but many of the ribbon shortcuts aren't available.

[@deckenneth]

Think these are all for PCs, rather than Macs (no F keys on a Mac)

[@testingonline7032]

Mac not working the shortcut keys?

[@AnalystAcademy]

Many of these shortcuts are available for Mac (but not all). If you want to download the shortcuts cheat sheet from our website there is a Mac version as well.

[@chengwang411]

Someone once told me a joke, that people who are good at PowerPoint has neither power or point. lol

[@beaumartin4572]

All good hacks but the #1 hack should have been work from a template.

[@dus10dnd]

The real secret... their slides suck. They're meant to obfuscate the fact that they're not delivering any value.

[@wasifkalim9241]

I wanted to join but your courses are very expensive, in India it is costing around Rs.17000/- more than per capita income of most peoples in this country.
