      Hotkeys - ppvote Essential, Lite and Professional only

      Useful keys to remember. Consider printing this page for quick reference. These do not apply to ppvote Matrix

      During the voting session:

      To manually start a ppvote activity, press V. This is the most important one to remember. If you don't see the votes cast box, V will force it to launch. The most common cause of the vote not launching is that there is already data on the presentation. Be sure to clear data before you run a session: In PowerPoint go to Add-ins > CLiKAPAD > Voting Results > Clear data/reset.

      During a vote, these are the available keys:

      R

      Revote – During a standard ratings vote ‘r’ will revote this item, ‘R’ will revote all.

      If the – key has been used (see above) and you wish to Increase the active keypads to the full range defined in keypad setup press + during a vote.
