I see several PDFs with keyboard shortcuts, and they show F3 takes you to normal view and F4 to the slide master. They aren't working here...am I missing something?
Hmmmm...I tried that and still no luck. When I press just the F3, a slider comes up in the upper left corner of the screen and each time I press F3, a number goes higher in the slider, but I can't tell what the number is for or what it's doing. Very strange.
Well, I'll play with it a bit to see if I can 1) get the F3 and F4 to open the master slide and normal and 2) what that slider is???
That's weird. Can you share a screenshot of the slider? Is it something from Storyline or something else?
I had an issue a while back where the Google Drive File Stream app messed with some of my keyboard shortcuts in Office and Storyline. I uninstalled it and everything worked fine after.
Good question, so I pressed F3 outside of SL and still see the slider! I just never tried those function keys before, and now I see on my keypad (Dell laptop) that there is a small speaker icon under "F3", so evidently that's what I'm controlling with that function key! I'll find out how to disable the Dell functions so perhaps SL functions will work - much more useful!

They should work. I just tested to make sure they still work and they're working for me.
Some computers require you to depress a function key and then the F key. Perhaps that's why it's not working for you.

Thanks for the input, Tom!

Thanks again, Tom!
Ok, so you didn't mean the 'F" key, Tom. You meant Fn....it was way too late last night for me to figure that out. And it works! Thanks!
