Keyboard Shortcut?

[Joy]

Is there a keyboard shortcut to size lines, arrows and
boxes? I can use Ctrl + right arrow to nudge. There has
to be a way to size using the keyboard.

I don't think this what you had in mind, but:
Change the size of a drawing object by using the keyboard:
Select the drawing object you want to change. On the
Format menu, use the keyboard to choose the command for
the type of object you selected - for example, AutoShape
or Text Box - and then select the Size tab. Select the
options you want. To preview the changes, choose Preview.
You might have to move the dialog box in order to preview
the drawing object.

Other than that, you'll find a complete keyboard shortcuts
list at these two sites:

Hello,

PowerPoint doesn't provide the functionality that you are looking for.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important that
PowerPoint provide this kind of functionality, don't forget to send your
feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
