PowerPoint shortcuts · Mac and Windows
Need boxes the same size? Two keys.
Select the boxes and press ⌥Z (Alt Z on Windows): they all take the same size. Same width and same height have their own chords, and two more space them evenly.
7 days free, then $9.99 a month plus any tax. Card required. Cancel before day 7 and pay nothing.
- No typing sizes into the Shape Format pane, box by box.
- Same width or same height alone, when the text needs one dimension free.
- Then even gaps across or down with ⌥⇧H and ⌥⇧V.
