Is there a shortcut key or button to go to Slide Master view? in PowerPoint General Questions    |   |  Help   Search For:     In:   Office   PowerPoint     PowerPoint General Questions              grpachal 9/28/2007 12:06 PM PST   Question   I am trying to find a shortcut key to move from Normal view to Slide Master view. I can't find any. My instructor yesterday didn't know of any either. I have tried setting up a macro, but when it takes me to the Slide Master view, it doesn't show the "left pane" which is a thumbnail of the current slide master and title master. I can't even find the name of the "left pane" which would help with searching. The macro code is just: "ActiveWindow.ViewType = ppViewTitleMaster". Any ideas? Thanks.     Was this post helpful to you?         Reply |   Top           tohlz  9/28/2007 12:14 PM PST   Answer   You can add a Slide master button that directly goes into the slide master view. To do so, click View > Toolbars > Customize. Click on the Commands Tab. Under Categories, select View. Under Commands, look Slide Master. Drag the Slide master command out and place it on a toolbar. For shortcut keys, you probably want to take a look at the Shortcut Manager add-in: http://officeone.mvps.org/ppsctmgr/ppsctmgr.html -- Shawn Toh (tohlz) Microsoft MVP PowerPoint Site Updated: Sept 26, 2007 (Amazing PowerPoint animations, artworks, games here) http://pptheaven.mvps.org PowerPoint Heaven - The Power to Animate "grpachal" wrote: > I am trying to find a shortcut key to move from Normal view to Slide Master > view.

Not *purely* a keyboard shortcut, but faster that using the menus. I couldn't live without it ;-) Lucy -- MOS Master Instructor www.aneasiertomorrow.com.au PowerPoint Live 2007 28-31 October in New Orleans www.pptlive.com See you there "grpachal" wrote: > I am trying to find a shortcut key to move from Normal view to Slide Master > view.
