Skip a Slide

[Ed]

Is there anyway to skip a slide such that when you press
back you will go to the skipped slide? Maybe somehow
creating an automatic hyperlink that you do not have to
click.

Thanks,
Ed

Hi Ed,

Maybe with VBA, but other than that, your option is to create a back navigation button. You could set the Action Settings on the button to link to the desired slide on mouse-over as well as mouse-click, but it's not going to effect the keyboard navigation.

What about simply having two copies of the slide, so you never "skip"
anything. That is, if you have slides A, B, C, and D, and you want to
"skip" B. I assume you would want to have the navigation take you from A
to C "back" to B and then return to C and on to D (i.e., A C B C D).
Couldn't you just create the slide show in that order, making a duplicate
of C and putting it both before and after B?
