Shortcut key to move between open presentations?

[Jack]

Is there a short cut key combination to allow you to quickly move back
and forth between multiple presentations that are simultaneously open?

I can see that they are numbered in the Window menu, but have no idea
how to use that number to quickly jump from one presentation to
another.

I should have specifed the version in the first posting: 10.1.7

Howzabout Cmd + ~

That's the very first thing I tried. PPT just beeps.

Nothing I can find there. I was hoping someone in the group knew how to
do this.

Works fine here - Have a look at System Prefs - Kybd & Mouse, make sure the
settings are correct there (it's actually listed as Cmd+`). It toggles
through the open file windows, though - doesn't give direct access to the
file of your choice.

If System Prefs isn't he solution, do you have any add-ins, utilities, etc
that could be negating the Cmd+` ?

You can also try Control+F4 (may be a hassle on a laptop).

Another option - which I find to be the least useful - is Control+F2 which
shifts focus to the Menu Bar, but then you have to Tab to the appropriate
menu (or guess the 'mystery character', press return or DnArrow, etc.

What I meant was that there were plenty of kybd shortcuts for *other*
purposes that you might be interested in if you weren't already familiar
with them

No, I don't think that I've stepped on Command/tilde. That works just
fine in all other apps, MS Word and Excel included.

I had the "wild" idea that the numbers would be useful. Crazy me!

Thanks for the suggestion about the shortcuts. I am putting together a
Word doc of those that look the most useful.

Actually, the numbers *do* work. The trick is that you have to get the
Window menu *open* first Then you can type the number & press return.

I'm interested in this question too. I can't get Cmd + ` to work as it does
in Word, Entourage and Excel. Clicking on the windows menu, selecting a
number and hitting return is very cumbersome.

My working solution is to use Apple's Expose, that is, to hit F10 to show
all open PowerPoint docs, then select the relevant doc with my mouse. Not
quite as streamlined as I'd like, but better than any solution I can find
built into PowerPoint itself.
