Really Quick PowerPoint Tip: Selecting Hidden Objects

Sep 21, 2011   //   by Devlin   //   Blog  //  No Comments

So you’re working on a PowerPoint presentation and you have two objects on top of each other and you can’t figure out how to select the bottom object without moving the top object. It is a very frustrating experience, but there is an easy solution. This simple tip that will save you lots of time and frustration:

  1. First make sure that no objects are selected.
  2. Hitting the  tab key will cycle through the objects on the slide, including objects covered by other objects.

That’s it! I went through some frustration before I figured that one out! I hope it helps someone else.
