Alt+Start Slide Show icon

[Rick Altman]

I was playing around with keystroke combos (each of the icons at lower-left
has Shift variations) and I fell upon an interesting one:

Press and hold Alt while clicking Start Slide Show from Current Slide


It plays the show in the size of the application window. And in this mode,
the only way to advance to the next slide is with PgDn. It's as if
PowerPoint is placed in browser mode, simulating how a presentation will
appear if saved to HTML.

What is this mode called, does anyone know...?

Hi Rick,
I believe it's a shortcut key to simulate the "Browsed by an individual
(Window)" show type which you can set up through Slide Show > Set Up Show.

That's it exactly, Shawn, thanks. That's an option that I had never checked
before. Were it not for this shortcut, I probably would have continued to
never have noticed it!

Shift+Slide Show Icon = Set up show.
Ctrl+Slide Show Icon = Start show in a miniature window (used in legacy PPT
97)
Alt+Slide Show Icon = Start show from current slide in 'Browsed by
individual mode with scrollbar'.
