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 J P A Y M

    Tap ⌥ on its own to show the key tips, then J P for Picture Format, A Y for Rotate, M for More Rotation Options.

What Alt J P A Y M does

More Rotation Options sits under Picture Format › Rotate on the PowerPoint ribbon. On Windows, Alt J P A Y M runs it from the keyboard. PowerPoint for Mac has the same ribbon but no Alt key, so without LightningXL you click through Picture Format › Rotate › More Rotation Options instead.
