You do not need to memorise where every command lives. Search for it by name, or look up its shortcut.

Shortcuts in this help are written with Windows keys. On a Mac, press Cmd where it says Ctrl and Option where it says Alt; the app's menus and shortcut list show the Mac keys.

Searching for a command by name.

Search for a command

  1. #

    Press Alt+Q, or choose Help › Search commands.

  2. #

    Type part of the name, such as align or duplicate. Each result shows which ribbon tab and group it belongs to.

  3. #

    Use the arrow keys to pick one and press Enter. Press Escape to close the search.

A command that cannot run right now stays in the list with a short reason, such as Select a text object on the slide first.
