You probably know that you can start a PowerPoint slide show from the current slide by clicking on a tiny icon, but do you know that you can do this with just the keyboard?

I wrote PowerPoint EZView because I am obsessed in getting my drawings accurate to the pixel and needed a fast way to do a full screen preview.

Did you know about the string macros in BibTeX files? Here is an example.

author = {Johan H\aa{}stad},
title = {Some Optimal Inapproximability Results},
journal = JACM,
year = 2001,
volume = 48,
number = 4,
pages = {798--859}
}


Here is a short list of macros that I have used in a recent paper:
