can I create a "next chapter" advance method?

[ppetto]

I'm looking to discover whether there is an easy way for me to construct a
"next chapter" advance function.

I'm a schoolteacher who throws together slide shows for my classes. Many
consist of multiple examples of problem-solving techniques. I'd like an easy
way to advance to the next problem type when one of my classes gets the hang
of one.

Is there a a way to set a marker that I can enable me to jump to a "next
chapter" postiion -- ideally with a keypress?

(Fooling around with a mouse to point at a hyperlink is awkward; it's what
I'm hoping to avoid.)

I'd appreciate any and all suggestions.

Hi there

You said you were open to all/any suggestions so here's my non-technical one
(there will probably others along later with VBA answers...)

Have a standard number of slides in each 'chapter' - even if some are
'dummies' (i.e. blank & hidden) so your chapters start on slide 10, 20, 30,
40 etc. Then type the slide number and enter to get there - so '40+enter' to
get to the start of chapter 4. Make sense? I said it was low-tech ;-)

Another thing to try would be to have a menu slide with links to a series of
custom shows. Add an end show action button to each slide and make sure you
tick show and return when you set up the links. Get back if that makes no
sense.
