VBA in Powerpoint

[Desmond]

Can anyone give me some code snipet here. I am using powerpoint to display
songs. there might be 4 or 5 pages to display. The problem is that I might have
over 100 of these songs, and would need to jump to a set of pages higher up the
list. Is it possible using a Visual basic app. to send a message to powerpont
to cause this jump.

Desmond.

Desmond,

If you have a printout of your slides with slide numbers.... then during a
powerpoint slideshow, did you know that you can enter the slide number on
your keyboard and then jump to that slide.

e.g. Enter 56 (using the number keys above the letter keys, then press the
big Enter/Return key

If you know the slide number, while in Slide Show mode, you can merely type
the slide number and press ENTER to go to that slide (no VBA code required).
If you want to use VBA, the following code (when assigned to a button on a
slide) will take you to Slide 3:

Sub JumpToSlide()
ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.GotoSlide (3)
End Sub

Hi Desmond,

Why don't you consider creating nested menus? Taj has a nice tutorial on
interactive menus at:

And I have a sample of nested menus that you can download at:
