Keyboard shortcut to move cursor from title to body?

Post by New Daddy »

Is there a keyboard shortcut that will move the cursor point from the title of a slide to the body text area?

While the insertion point is in a text box, press F2 to select the entire text box, then press Tab to activate the next text box, or Shift+Tab to activate the previous text box. Press F2 to edit the text in the selected text box.
Best wishes,
Hans

Thanks. It performs what I'm looking for, but it doesn't feel like a "shortcut".

You can also use: CTRL+ENTER
Caveat: It moves to the next title or body text placeholder. If it is the last placeholder on a slide, this will insert a new slide with the same slide layout as the original slide.
