402 Chapter 14 Work with Slide Text

Under Paste Options, buttons represent the ways in which you can paste the item.

Pointing to a button under Paste Options displays a preview of how the cut or

copied item will look when pasted into the text in that format, so you can experi-

ment with different ways of pasting until you find the one you want.

Clipboard” later in this chapter.

● Keyboard shortcuts It can be more efficient to press key combinations to cut,

copy, and paste selections than to click buttons on the ribbon. The main keyboard

shortcuts for editing tasks are listed in the following table.

Task Keyboard shortcuts

Cut Ctrl+X

Copy Ctrl+C

Paste Ctrl+V

Undo Ctrl+Z

Repeat/Redo Ctrl+Y

Tip While moving and copying text on the Outline tab, you can collapse bullet points

under slide titles so that you can see more of the presentation at one time. Double-

click the icon of the slide whose bullet points you want to hide. Double-click again to

redisplay the bullet points. To expand or collapse the entire outline at once, right-click

the title of a slide, point to Expand or Collapse, and then click Expand All or Collapse All.

If you change your mind about a change you have made, you can reverse it by clicking

the Undo button on the Quick Access Toolbar. If you undo an action in error, you can

click the Redo button on the Quick Access Toolbar to reverse the change.
