Go to slide on startup of show?

[Graham]

Is there a function to be able to go to straight to a specific slide when a show opens up.

Its a long shot because I havn't seen this anywhere yet.

I have linked shows via navigation. When I go back to the original show it would be good to start at slide 3 instead of slide 1. The user will have already seen slide 1 as the introduction.

Hi, Graham,

There is nothing specifically as you describe.

However, if you want to come back in where you left off, it would be possible to create a smaller slide show consisting of the slides up to the point where you break away, use the feature under Project Options/Advanced "run application after last slide" (i.e. your second show). Make sure you also check "Close show after last slide" under the "Main" tab.

Then have it also "run application after last slide" when it ends, where the "external application" is a third show consisting of the rest of the slides from your first show.

Another way to accomplish this would be to set the slide at the breakaway point in the first show to "run external application" and set its "timing" value to a large number so that it is still on screen when one returns from the second show. Otherwise the first show will continue to play while the second one is playing.

Note that all this assumes you are using the "non-synchronized" mode for at least the first show.

Hope this helps.
