In Microsoft PowerPoint, if you run your mouse over the edge of an object the cursor changes to
Move
. Click the edge of the object and you can move it around the slide with any of the following:- ← or → (called arrow below)
- Shift + arrow
- Ctrl + arrow
The Ctrl+arrow keyboard shortcut is particularly useful because you can quickly move items around pixel-by-pixel to their most attractive location.
However, try as I might I cannot find a shortcut for
resize
. Some editors, such as Visual Studio, have Ctrl+arrow and Shift+arrow to accomplish these separate tasks. Is there anything like this in PowerPoint?Using PowerPoint 2000 if relevant.

- Ctrl + Shift + ↑↓ change the height of the shape.
- Ctrl + Shift + ←→ change the width of the shape.
If the shape's aspect ratio is locked, changing height will change width proportionally and vice versa.
This is in PowerPoint 2010. I haven't used 2000 in a long time, but I'm fairly sure the key combos should be the same.
UPDATE: I've checked this in PowerPoint 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007 and found it doesn't work in any of them. Apparently this feature was introduced in 2010.
