Shortcut Category: Shortcuts for PowerPoint
Shortcut Command: Activate Taskbar

Default Shortcut Keys: <None>

Description:

When a slide show starts, PowerPoint makes the slide show window a foreground window and covers the entire screen (including the taskbar) with this window. Though correct, many times you might want to access the taskbar temporarily.

This feature of Shortcuts for PowerPoint enables you to define a keyboard combination which when pressed activates the taskbar and brings it in the foreground. This works even when the taskbar is set to Auto Hide.

For calling from macros:

Sub PPShortcuts_ActivateTaskbar()
    Application.Run "PPShortcuts.ppa!ActivateTaskbar"
End Sub
