It always amazes me how few people know that one.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My favorite trick is setting a lines height to 0 to make it perfectly horizontal. That's a good one for everyone stuck fixing up the slides of someone who didn't know to hold down the Shift key while drawing the line in the first place.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">leepotts</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 30 May 2008 08:59:13 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: PowerPoint (that&amp;#8217;s right, PowerPoint) to the Rescue</title><link>http://www.breakingmurphyslaw.com/2008/05/29/powerpoint-thats-right-powerpoint-to-the-rescue/#comment-1456425</link><description>Powerpoint is being improved. Now how about its users?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here's my favourite trick:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Key in a number and hit enter.&lt;br&gt;You jump straight to the desired slide, without having to sift through the right-click menu, or leaving the presentation altogether.&lt;br&gt;Of course, this does require you to know which slide has which number, but that you can find out while preparing.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Daan</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 30 May 2008 03:57:34 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
