Moving cursor to next text box on a slide

J

Is there a keyboard shortcut key sequence that will move
the cursor into the next text box on a PowerPoint slide?
When I'm done typing in the slide's title block I don't
want to have to move over to the mouse to jump down and
start typing bullets.

Hi,

to add more confusion... ;-)

Tab will move one direction, control + tab will move the other direction.

When the box is selected, hit the space bar. That will get the cursor in the
text box ready to edit.

So for me creating new text boxes.

Select current text box,
Control + D = duplicate
Spacebar to edit it newly duplicated shape
Control + A = Select all text
type to replace it
Escape once = reselect outside of current text box
Control + D = Duplicate

Is this new? I never saw it before.

New to PowerPoint 4, maybe. ,-)
