Arrange and Align Shapes

PPT Productivity PowerPoint add-in has 200+ time saving features. 'Arrange and Align Shapes' features include shortcuts to select all shapes matching a selected shape color or size, or by 12 other attributes. Also features to quickly align shapes, including aligning to first selected.

The Arrange and Align Shapes features can all be found on the Format Toolbar for PPT Productivity, for Power Tools users (including all Free trial users). The Format Toolbar for PowerPoint can be redocked to the top, bottom or either side of your screen. You can resize the Toolbar and easily toggle to show or hide features or feature groups.

PPT Productivity's features let you spend less time formatting, so you can focus on the story.

Select same color or size

Quickly select all shapes on your PowerPoint slide that are the same color or same size as the last shape selected.

The Select by features make it easy to select objects on PowerPoint slides to update. Easily apply a bulk color change to PowerPoint slides by selecting a shape and using the Select Same Color Shapes feature.

Similarly, use the Select Same Size Shape feature to select all shapes on the page of the same size. The Select Same Size Shape feature is useful for example to change the shape outline or fill color of many objects at once.

Productivity Tip

If you wish to select multiple colors (or different sizes), you can continue to add new shapes to the selection by holding down the Ctrl key while clicking. Then another click of Select Same Color or Select Same Size will add to the shapes selected using the shape you just selected.

Shortcut Keys

All PPT Productivity features can be used via the Customizable Shortcut Keys for PowerPoint feature. You can update the shortcut keys to any preferred available combination, but to get you started we have set up the following for selecting shapes in PowerPoint:

  • Shortcut key to select same color shapes in PowerPoint: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+#
