test just one of many slides?

[Geoff Cox]

Hello,

I wonder if it is possible to "run the slide show" but for just one of
the slides?

I am making lots of slides but at the moment having to go through them
all say just to test the last one! I must be mising something?

Cheers

Geoff

Geoff,
Don't know what version of PowerPoint you have but in version 2002/2003 when
your click on the show button in the lower left corner it will only display
the current slide. Once finished displaying press escape to return to edit
mode. You can also use the shift+f5 short-cut. If you want the whole show no
matter what slide you are on then press F5.

Also, I believe when you click on the slide show button, it will bring you
to the current slide in all versions, except for "Shift-F5", which only works
in PowerPoint 2002 and 2003. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Alternately if you want to go straight into the last slide, press the End
key on your keyboard. Lets say if you want to test the 5th slide, but you are
currently on the 10th slide, you can press '5' on your keyboard, then press
enter. This will bring you to the 5th slide immediately.

Another way is to right click, to bring up the popup menu during slide show.
Then, select Go > By title (For PowerPoint 2000 and below).

For 2002 and 2003, right click to bring up the popup menu during slide show.
Then, select Go to Slide.

Many thanks for your help - this will save me loads of time!
