PowerPoint Shortcuts & Tricks

Excel shortcuts are vital to success and survival in the investment banking world (whatever your own definition of "success" may be). From day 1, monkeys' mouses are unplugged and keyboard shortcuts are memorized.

One thing people often forget to mention as a necessary investment banking skill -- PowerPoint. Bankers tend to spend equal amounts of time working in PowerPoint as they do in Excel. Familiarity with PPT and its shortcuts quickly becomes another way to save precious time.

What are some of the best/top PowerPoint shortcuts to use? Any other time saving techniques or PPT functions/tricks that can lead to greater efficiency??
