is there a faster way to get text

[Denise]

Everytime I want to type something, I have to go back up to the Text Box, is
there a quick key stroke that will allow me to keep typing without having to
click on the Text Box over and over again?

Denise,
If you have PPT 2003, double click the textbox icon on the drawing toolbar.
From that moment on you can click and type as many textboxes as you will. To
stop just press escape or double click the icon again.
If you have PPT 2007, you can do the same thing by right-clicking the
textbox icon to lock the button.

Hi,
This is a helful trick, but in my PP 2007 it dose not work. Neither in
Inssert tab or Drawing or in Custom toolbar. What do I do wrong?
Thanks,
Natasa

Tamutka,
You are quite right it does not work for textboxes in PPT 2007, I did not
have PPT 2007 available at the time of answering the question, so I
naturally assumed it would be the same for 2007. It works for other drawing
tools though.
