Goto Slide number

[sanj]

Hi,

I'm using a macro to goto a slide but if the user adds a slide inbetween the
macro will goto the wrong slide, is it possible to goto / 'lock' to a
particular slide?

Regards,

Sanj

You may want to look at the SlideIndex property instead of the SlideNumber
property. Check out the following for some info:

The SlideId Property is the unique value for a slide. From the SlideID you
get the slideindex for the slide and jump to the appropriate slide.

Shyam,

This is what I am looking for, could you please help figuring out:

if my SlideId is Slide113, how do code to jump to that particular slide?

Regards,

Sanj

You can use FindBySlideId() function of the Slides collection of the
presentation object. It returns the slide object. Use the SlideIndex
property of that slide object to go to that slide.

I would name the slide in question (using code like Example 8.7 on my
site) and jump to the named slide:

ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.GotoSlide _
ActivePresentation.Slides("Insert Slide Name Here").SlideIndex

If you have named the slide "Insert Slide Name Here" this should take you
there.
