Jump to a slide using Macro/VB code in Powerpoint

[AndrewGohLK]

Hi,

I'm new to VBA.
I had a powerpoint presentation where I wish to loop it forever. However, I can't use the built-in Show Options - "Loop continously until Esc" because I wish to jump to a middle slide at the end of the slides & loop from there onwards subsequently.
I've searched the web but can't find any answer via MS Powerpoint buildin settings.

Was thinking if this can be done thru VB coding.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Welcome to the Forums.

What you could do is create two slideshows. One that transverses the entire slide collection and then ends. Then
right after that you could run your second show which will consist of only the middle slide starting position to the
ending slide.

So if you have 10 slides you would have your first slideshow 1-10 and your second show 5-10 slides only. Then the
second show could loop from its first slide of #5 to its last slide #10 (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 5, 6, 7, 8,9, 10, ...)

Thanks RobDog888 for the prompt reply.
But how do I make the 2 presentation slides to run after the other? That is, how to run the 2nd slides automatically after the 1st one has ended?

Thanks!

If you record a macro you will see the generated code in the VBE.

I don't seems to be able to run the macro automatically at the end of the 1st set of slides for it to trigger to run the 2nd set of slides.

loop the second one. record a macro to play the first one and then play the second one.

Thanks for the reply. But where do I record the macro? In the 1st slides? I tried that, but don't know how to start the macro automatically at the end of the 1st slides to run the 2nd one.

Basically, I have my wedding slides which shows my fiancee and mine old photos of growing up, when it finally reach the pt where we show our wedding photos (studio photos), I wish to loop this portion endless and not to start the loop from the beginning of the old photos slides.

Record one macro of the first set. Then record another macro with the second set, which repeats. Then record the one that you will use, which plays the first macro, and then the second macro. The second macro will loop by default.
The third macro will play the second macro over and over until you stop it.
