    Productivity Tip

    To find a custom PowerPoint shortcut key that you setup, or to check if a specific shortcut key combination is still available, press the shortcut in the "Assigned Shortcut:" field of the Edit Custom Shortcut Keys popup. You can filter all shortcuts that use that combination of keys (in full or part).

    Example: Enter CTRL + U in the assigned shortcut field and the results field will display the Autofit Columns keyboard shortcut, which by default is CTRL+ALT+Shift+U.
