PowerPoint 2003 Menus - Toolbars - Status Bar
Enable or Disable Shortcut Keys When Hovering Over Toolbars
SUMMARY: Toggle whether or not shortcut keys should display when you hover your mouse pointer over icons in PowerPoint 2003 toolbars.
Depending on your configuration, when you hover over icons in Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 toolbars, keystroke shortcuts may appear along with the description of the button. For example, hovering over the disk icon may display "Save (Ctrl+S)", hovering over the folder open icon may display "Open (Ctrl+O)", and hovering over the ABC and checkmark icon may display "Spelling (F7)".
If you frequently use keyboard shortcuts, you may find these hints useful - when you later need to access a toolbar function, you may remember the keystrokes instead. However, if you rarely use such shortcuts or already have the keystrokes memorized, you can disable this feature.
1. Select "Tools" - "Customize".
2. When the "Customize" dialog box appears click the "Options" button.
3. Check or uncheck "Show shortcut keys in ScreenTips" as desired (if "Show ScreenTips on toolbars" is disabled you cannot check or uncheck this box).
4. Click "Close" on the dialog box to save your settings.
