I downloaded the latest updates and now cannot use the backspace key in powerpoint. Works fine in word, outlook, excel, etc. Any clues as to what might be wrong?

    Jesse,

    Thanks a lot. In the meantime, I became an expert of Trackpad manipulation on my Mac Book Pro, as well as Cmd-X key.

    Backspace and arrows get badly missed though.
