them together and allows you to treat them as one object. (Holding down Shift
does the same thing)
Ctrl + C: Copy
Ctrl + V: Paste what ever you have copied.
Ctrl + Y: Repeat last action. (F4 does the same thing)

Ctrl + D: Duplicate. This is faster than doing copy + paste. It’s also useful to use when you
want to work on a slide you have created but still keep the original as a
backup, e.g. highlight the slide you want to work on, then use Ctrl+D, a
duplicate slide will appear, you can work on the duplicate and still keep the
original. It is also useful if you wish to keep the same slide format for a series
of slides.
