Do you mean you want to display the dialog box that let's you run a macro when on a worksheet? If so... ALT+F8 and, if not, I think you might need to expand your description somewhat.

Rasm,

As you continue to expand the quantity of macros that you use at some point this may become helpful. It is a macro that can be used as a shortcut to other macros. You can Customize your ribbon and put this macro on the ribbon or you can use a shortcut key for this particular macro that will give you access to other frequently used macros:




Sub MacroShortcutList()
'Standard Module code!
'Display pick list box.
Dim Message, Title, Default, MyPick
'Set prompt."
'Add other macros to list with & Chr(13) & "Macro Name"
Message = "Select the number of the macro you want to run:" & Chr(13) & _
"1. Select No Macro" & Chr(13) & "2. Delete Rows Based On Criteria" _
& Chr(13) & "3. Freeze Top Row"
'Set title.
Title = "Select Macro!"
'Set default.
Default = "1"

'Display message, title, and default value.
MyPick = InputBox(Message, Title, Default)
'Optional, control box position!
'Display dialog box at position 100, 100.
'MyPick = InputBox(Message, Title, Default, 100, 100)

Select Case MyPick

Case 1
MsgBox "No Macro Selected!"

'Add additional Case code as needed!
Case 2
Call DeleteRowsCriteria

Case 3
Call FreezeTopRow

Case Else
Exit Sub

End Select
End Sub


Change the Case to call your own macros. The Message = portion is just text that is used in the message box. Chr(13) is equivalent to the enter key.

Hi,
Thanks for your information. I too was searching for this type of shortcut. I Have found more short cuts for power point when searching on Google.
It is PowerPoint ShortcutTools 2.0 .
