Discover the secret commands in PowerPoint 2007
Like Word, Excel or Outlook, PowerPoint 2007 will accept orders placed as a parameter to launch. These commands fix the application or impose a specific launch, different from the default. A good way to resolve crashes and failures, but also to gain in productivity!
The launch commands are commands that alter the normal launch of the application. These commands are often expressed in one or more letters preceded by the sign "/".
To use them, two possibilities:
- Launch Microsoft PowerPoint from the Run menu by pressing [Windows] + [R] and then typing:
POWERPNT/command
- Launch PowerPoint 2007 from the Start menu of Vista or Windows 7 by opening the menu with a brief pressure on the [Windows] and typing in the search field:
POWERPNT/command
