Moving in a PP presentation

I know how to advance (or go back) one slide and I know that you can enter a
slide number on the keyboard and jump to that slide but is there a short cut
to skip forward or back "N" slides like mabe keboard a plus or minus number
and move that many slides??

I run PP 2003 on an XP platform.

No, there really isn't a setting for this. You could create hyperlinks to
shapes or text that would do this, but these would need to be clicked on.
You could create a VBA routine that would do this, but VBA will not run on
systems where it hasn't been installed or in the viewer.

Will you be distributing this presentation, or will you be the only one
running it?

Bill,

The specific application is for worship services. Occasionally the worship
leader decides to depart from the scrip in some manner. Sometimes a simple
jump to slide "N" is possible but sometimes it is quicker to simply "flick"
through four or five slides. Usually we know how many slides so a "skip 5"
would be possible.

There are several of us who prepare the presentations, usually on our desk
top machines, transfering them to a laptop for the actual presentation.
There are two different laptops used.

None of us would be competent in VBA and we have never used hyperlinks. We
simply "import" most segments from a library (eg hymns) with a few slides
specific to the day.

I understand the unpredictability of worship leaders, Rex. LOL ... boy, do
I ever understand.

To this end, I use a 9-up handout created with Hand-out wizard (by Shyam)
with slide numbers printed on the handouts. I also use a custom add-in that
keeps the display sync'd to the screen, and previews the next slide to be
displayed. The 'slide number / enter', is probably the best solution,
rather than a 'skip x slides' macro.
