Executing Command Button Code Outside Of Presentation Mode

[Jeffrey G]

I work with high slide count presentations (version 2007) where it will be
useful to employ command buttons to jump to (select) slides while developing
the document (not only during the presentation). Is there a way the buttons
(code) can be made to execute outside of Presentation Mode ? I've tried this
using Hyperlinks as well but it still requires selecting the hyperlink and
right clicking to open the link . . . Not really what I'm looking for . . .
Also, while I'm on the topic of created hyperlinks, how do I change the font
color ? . . . Seems I can change the size but not the color ?

Thanks for any info . . .

Hi Jeffrey

I'm afraid I can't help you with the first question (other than suggesting
you make the slide thumbnails in the navigation pane on the left hand side
as small as possible - if I do that I can see 30 slides at once on my 17"
laptop monitor. Hovering over the thumbnails shows the slide titles).
However I can help you with the hyperlink colour question - design tab ->
colours drop down -> create new theme colours -> you can then select a
colour for hyperlinks and followed hyperlinks. As an aside, I never link to
the actual text, I link to the textbox which avoids the colour issue (and
the ugly underlining) but it depends on your project - you may need them to
be obvious hyperlinks...
