Hello!

Today we’re looking at PowerPoint and we’re going to see how we can quickly access the Slide Master using a shortcut.

  • Normally, we go to the View tab to access the Slide Master.
  • But this time, we’re going to use the Normal View button, which is in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, and is the 4th button to the left of the zoom slider.

  • To access the Slide Master, I just hold down the SHIFT key on the keyboard and click the Normal View button,,,
