How to Quickly Duplicate Items and Slides in PowerPoint
Learn how to quickly duplicate individual items and slides in PowerPoint to quickly make iterations of your designs.
In this Presentation Design Conference sneak peek, Nolan Haims shares one of his favorite PowerPoint keyboard shortcuts. Though seemingly simple, he shows how Command/Ctrl+D can be used to duplicate elements for quicker slide creation. Finally, Nolan shows how using this shortcut on a slide itself can save you having to perform multiple undos when you want to revert to a previous look.
