Set a default font for your PowerPoint presentation (2000/2002/2003/2004/2007)
If you know you'll be using a certain text style, such as a company font, throughout a presentation, you may think about setting it as the default for the active presention. This will save you from having to apply a new text style every time you enter words on your slide. To change the default for this presentation alone, choose Format | Font and in the Font dialog box, change the Font, Font Style, and Size to whatever suits your presentation needs. (In PowerPoint 2007, go to the Home tab and click on the icon in the lower-right corner of the Font group to open the Font dialog box.) Click OK and save your presentation. Every time you create a new text box (in this presentation alone), these settings will apply as default.
The fastest way to delete a layer (Photoshop CS/CS2/CS3/CS4)
Your time is precious and you’re always looking for ways to increase your productivity in Photoshop. It’s only natural then, that you want to know how to do things as quickly as possible.
Learning keyboard shortcuts is one way to do this, but there currently isn’t a keyboard command for deleting a layer. You could set one up, but why go through the hassle, when there is a hidden shortcut you can use instead?
First you’ll need to select the layer you want to delete from the Layers palette—there’s no getting around that part. Then press V to select the Move tool and press [delete] ([Backspace] in Windows) to delete the layer. It’s that quick!

Can't find a font?
What do you do if you have a client that is in love with a font, insists on using it on their website and you don't have the font on your computer? With www.1001freefonts.com, this isn't a problem. It's a great resource for free downloadable fonts. It has tools to convert PC fonts to Macintosh files. It also has links to pixel fonts for Adobe Flash users. Best of all, it has an application where you can create your own font or edit an existing TrueType Font.
Two uses for [F4] in PowerPoint (2000/2002/2003/2004/2007)
[F4] is a handy shortcut that you can use in a few ways. Pressing [F4] allows you to repeat the last action you performed. For example, if you just increased the font size of a block of text, you can select another text block, press [F4], and have your changes repeated there. It also works to duplicate objects that were just created and apply font sizes. You can repeat almost any action that requires only one button click by pressing [F4].
If you press [Ctrl][F4], something very different happens: you close out of your presentation.
