Hi all,

Objective: assign keyboard strokes to jump to certain slides to be able to toggle between them

I would like to explain my request in the example below.

Let's say I have a presentation of 10 slides, 5 slides for each test. Test1 has the first 5 slides, and test2 has the next 5. During presentation mode, when I'm within slides 1-5, I would like to simply jump to the slides by pressing 1, 2, ... 5 on my keyboard to jump through the corresponding slides. When I'm within slides 6-10, I would still like to use the shortcuts 1-5 to jump to slides 6-10 respectively. This will be very helpful in my QC presentations where I have to compare between different parameters and jump between specific parameters per clients' request

I tried using Action Buttons and set every button to jump to a specific slide. In the example above, I had 5 action buttons names 1 to 5 in the slides 6 through 10 for Test2. During presentation mode, when I click on the Action Button labeled "1", the presentation would jump to slide 6, and so on.

Instead of clicking on the action button, I would like to set keyboard shortcuts to activate them during presentation mode. They don't have to be Action Buttons, just any trick that can do what I have stated above



Note: I won't be able to download any packages or registry hacks due to restrictions at the workplace.

Thanks,
Mustafa.

There's no good answer to this but TAB (or TAB several times) will "select" buttons with actions in show mode (you will see a dotted line) ENTER will then activate. If you set it up carefully TAB-ENTER for button 1, TAB TAB ENTER for button 2 etc. Not ideal I know.
