CONTEXT MATTERS

Tools stay tied to the object they operate on.

Shape tools expect shapes. Table tools expect a table. Slide commands operate at deck level. XKey communicates availability from the current PowerPoint selection, so the interface remains grounded in the work instead of showing every command as equally relevant.

SHAPES

Arrange, size, position, group, and format selected objects.

TEXT

Adjust text layout, spacing, margins, defaults, and editing operations.

TABLE

Apply table-specific borders, styles, conversion, and Gantt operations.

SLIDES

Handle selection, organization, replacement, clipboard, and export work.

QUESTIONS

What the slide tools cover.

01Are the slide tools only for alignment?

No. XKey includes command families for arrangement, size and position, text, insertion, tables, slides, and visual formatting.

02Do tools depend on what is selected?

Yes. Commands can require shapes, text, a table, slides, or another relevant PowerPoint context before they are available.

03Can slide tools also have keyboard shortcuts?

Yes. XKey tools can be assigned to key sequences from the shortcut configuration interface.

04Where can I see every available feature?

The full feature directory provides the broader catalog. This page focuses on the main slide-production workflows.
