Nuts and Bolts Training<\/a>) to line up these textboxes properly.<\/p>\nTo use \u201cNinja Lines,\u201d press Alt, 08<\/strong> to draw a few lines bounding the arrows, as shown below (press and hold the Shift<\/strong> key while drawing them to ensure they are straight lines):<\/p>\n![\"Ninja](\"https:\/\/biwsuploads-assest.s3.amazonaws.com\/biws\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/19074817\/PPT-05-08-Image-19.jpg\" "\\"Ninja")
<\/p>\n
Next, press and hold the Shift<\/strong> key, left-click the horizontal “Ninja Lines,” and then left-click just the leftmost textbox<\/em>:<\/p>\n![\"Selecting](\"https:\/\/biwsuploads-assest.s3.amazonaws.com\/biws\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/19074817\/PPT-05-08-Image-20.jpg\" "\\"Selecting")
<\/p>\n
Now, press the Alt, 1, V<\/strong> shortcut to distribute the textbox vertically<\/strong> between these lines. If you don\u2019t have our QAT, use Alt, H, G, A, V instead (or navigate to \u201cHome\u201d and \u201cArrange\u201d on the Mac).<\/p>\nDeselect this leftmost textbox by clicking it, and now select each textbox to its right sequentially<\/em>, still holding the Shift<\/strong> key, and use the same Alt, 1, V shortcut for each one when you have the textbox and the horizontal “Ninja Lines” selected.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s important to do this sequentially<\/em> \u2013 you cannot<\/strong> select all the textboxes at once, or the distribution command will not work properly.<\/p>\nOnce you\u2019ve clicked each one and used Alt, 1, V separately 4 times, your slide should look like this:<\/p>\n
![\"Vertical](\"https:\/\/biwsuploads-assest.s3.amazonaws.com\/biws\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/19074816\/PPT-05-08-Image-21.jpg\" "\\"Vertical")
<\/p>\n
Now, deselect everything by clicking on the slide.<\/p>\n
Then, press and hold Shift<\/strong> once again, and select the vertical “Ninja Lines” and<\/strong> all 4 textboxes:<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"Selecting](\"https:\/\/biwsuploads-assest.s3.amazonaws.com\/biws\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/19074816\/PPT-05-08-Image-22.jpg\" "\\"Selecting")
<\/p>\n
And press the Alt, 1, H<\/strong> shortcut to distribute these textboxes horizontally<\/strong> (navigate to \u201cHome\u201d and \u201cArrange\u201d on Mac for \u201cDistribute Horizontally\u201d or use Alt, H, G, A, H in the PC\/Windows version without our QAT).<\/p>\nYou can now delete these \u201cNinja Lines\u201d by using Shift + Click to select them all and pressing the Delete key:<\/p>\n
![\"Deleting](\"https:\/\/biwsuploads-assest.s3.amazonaws.com\/biws\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/19074815\/PPT-05-08-Image-23.jpg\" "\\"Deleting")
<\/p>\n
The textboxes on the blue arrow are not quite right<\/em>, so you can select them and manually move them slightly to the left.<\/p>\nAs the final step, you can insert the red, rounded rectangle<\/strong> from the finished version by using the Alt, 09<\/strong> shortcut to draw the shape, Alt, 4<\/strong> to change its border color, and Alt, 3<\/strong> to remove its fill color:<\/p>\n![\"Finished](\"https:\/\/biwsuploads-assest.s3.amazonaws.com\/biws\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/19074815\/PPT-05-08-Image-24.jpg\" "\\"Finished")
<\/p>\n
And now you have a finished PowerPoint recommendations slide<\/strong>, which you built using the default commands\/shortcuts and some custom ones from our Quick Access Toolbar.<\/p>\n
