Step by step

  1. Install LightningXL

    Download LightningXL, then follow the instructions. Setup takes about two minutes.

  2. Select what to act on

    Select the slide, text or object the command should apply to.

  3. Tap Option, then type H U B

    Tap ⌥ on its own to show the keytips, then H for Home, U for Bullets, B for Bullets and Numbering.

What Alt H U B does

Bullets and Numbering sits under Home › Bullets on the PowerPoint ribbon. On Windows, Alt H U B runs it from the keyboard. PowerPoint for Mac has the same ribbon but no Alt key, so without LightningXL you click through Home › Bullets › Bullets and Numbering instead.
