On my Mac, Command-G toggles the guides on and off, but I can't seem to
find a key command to do the same on the PC. Is there one?
 
Right click on the toolbar, and select Customize, View scroll down to the Grid &
Guides, and drag it to the toolbar, where it will be only a mouse click away. Or
click on View Grid & Guides and select on or off as you need them.

ALT+F9 is the keyboard shortcut to toggle between show/hide guides.

Press F1 to open HELP. Type "shortcut key" in the box, click the "Keyboard
shortcuts" option, then click the "Show All" option at the top right to see
a bunch more keyboard shortcuts.
 
It does so!! I really must put on my glasses before I start answering these
questions. Thanks Bill

Actually I use icons dragged from the "Customize" dialog box myself! Too
many keyboard shortcuts to try and remember! HA!

Or put on a more recent copy of PPT. I poked around Help in 2000 and found
nada on this. But since Alt F9 doesn't work there, Help was right.

Doesn't that rate a fanfare or something? ;-)
 
Duh! Didn't even notice the PPT 2000 in the original post. See Michael,
your glasses ARE on! Me on the other hand...

Now you're trying to make me crazy, with or without glasses. Where did the
poster mention PowerPoint 2000?
 
I'm now staying out of this one (LOL)

Neither did I, Bill!

In the interest of a complete answer, then, Ctrl+G does the guide thing in
PPT 2000.
 
hat are you talking about? I never mentioned PPT 2000! HA! I'm just so
used to Steve coming to my aid to "clean up my loose ends", I actually
thought I made a mistake (again). Shoulda known it was Steve picking on me!

Brian, help!

S'awright, there wasn't one. Version wasn't specified, so I figured "Hey,
maybe I'm NOT the only luddite out here" and stuck my oar in.
