Insert a tab character in PowerPoint 2016 I defined a tab stop in the ruler



And I would like to enter a tab character to move the cursor to the tab stop.

With older versions it was possible to enter special characters with insert symbol but I don't find the special characters anymore:



I also tried several key combinations as shift+tab, option+tab or control+tab without any effect.

I can I type/enter the tab character?
Keynote is accepting tab directly. Is much easier to use than any version of PowerPoint and is able to output PowerPoint format which is readable with many PowerPoint versions.

My personnal experience is that Keynote is providing a more compatible PowerPoint than any version of PowerPoint, and is also much user friendly.

Actually I don't use PowerPoint for quality and security reasons.

Then this part of advice is untested!

I suggest you to try:

ctrl+Q, tab

or:

ctrl+V, tab
