Set Custom Keyboard Shortcuts for PowerPoint With PowerPoint Shortcut Tools

Keyboard shortcuts are always good for boosting performance and increasing efficiency to complete a task. For example, using keyboard shortcuts can reduce the amount of time it might take to create a PowerPoint presentation. Unfortunately, the available shortcuts for an application can be quite hard to remember and sometimes they are simply not enough shortcuts for various functions that the user might need to frequently perform. If you require using PowerPoint on a regular basis and would like to speed up the process of creating presentations, then it might be worth setting custom hotkeys using PowerPoint Shortcut Tools add-in.
