PowerPoint 2010 Keyboard Shortcut - GO TO specific slide while editing a presentation

While a person is editing a slide, what is the keyboard shortcut to navigate to a particular slide. F5 does not work, CTRL G doesn't work.
When I'm on slide 2, I want to go to slide 33. How to do it quickly?

Hi,

There's no such function in Powerpoint

pls try this macro

Sub GoToMacro()
Set f = ActivePresentation
Result = InputBox("Enter the number of the slide", "Go To Slide #")
Do While Result <> ""
    If IsNumeric(Result) Then
        If Result >= 1 And Result <= ActivePresentation.Slides.Count Then
            ActivePresentation.Slides.Item(CDbl(Result)).Select
            Exit Do
        Else
        MsgBox "Please enter a number between 1 and " & ActivePresentation.Slides.Count
        End If
    Else
    MsgBox "Please enter a number"
    End If
Result = InputBox("Enter the number of the slide", "Go To Slide #")
Loop
End Sub

Open in new window

Hi Rgonzo1971
What kind of variable should "f" be declared as?

One more question: What does CDbl mean in the context below?

ActivePresentation.Slides.Item(CDbl(Result)).Select

Probably the quickest way is to switch to slide sorter view and double click the slide needed.

If you are using code you should check that the number is valid

Sub gotoslide()
Dim strNum As String
Do
strNum = InputBox("Slide to select.")
Loop Until IsNumeric(strNum) And CLng(strNum) > 0 And _
CLng(strNum) <= ActivePresentation.Slides.Count
ActivePresentation.Slides(CLng(strNum)).Select
End Sub
