Clicking Shift + F3 toggles the text case between ALL CAPS, lower case, and Initial Capital styles. You'll be surprised how often you use this once you get the hang of it!  You can create "soft" shadows for square or round objects that sit on a solid color background. Make a copy of the object, and then change its fill to be shaded from black to the background color, with the shading set with black going from the center out to the background color at the edges. Make this object about 150% bigger than the original object, and put it behind the object. This will give you the effect of "soft" shadows.  If you like using guides, but wish there were more, you can create additional Guides by simply holding down the CTRL  key while dragging on an existing Guide. This will create a new guide. To get rid of guides, just drag them off the edge of the slide.  You can quickly make a copy of any object by holding down the CTRL key while you drag on the object.  You will then "drag off" a new copy.  If you'd like to see previews of the actual fonts in the font selection of the formatting toolbar, go to Tools/Customize, click on the Options tab, and click "List font names in their font", click Close.  If you'd like to see the available keyboard shortcuts for menus, commands, and toolbar buttons, go to Tools/Customize, click on the Options tab, and click on "show shortcut keys in screen tips".  You can use the arrow keys to move objects very small distances. This is a big win for those laptop users who no longer have mice. Select the object, and then use your arrow keys. Each press of the key will move the object on "grid unit" (1/12th of an inch, don't ask why); if you hold down the ALT key while nudging, or if you have the grid turned off, you can move the objects one pixel at a time. 519-473-1391 eMail
