I was wondering how to select multiple items (words, characters, etc.) that are not next to each other in PP08. I could do this in Word08 by holding the Command key while selecting multiple items. However, this same technique does not seem to work in PowerPoint. Was this an oversight, or is there another key sequence to accomplish this? BTW, I know this feature does exit in PP07 (for Windows).

Thanks much in advance.

Hi,

The command key ability only works in Word. It¹s not something that has been
in PowerPoint.

If you think this would be a nice thing to have, please send feedback to:
