Skip animations on current slide in PowerPoint

During a presentation, you can type the a slide number and press Enter to go directly to the specific slide. This may be the easiest way to skip the remaining animations on the current slide.

Here are useful Keyboard shortcuts for use while delivering a presentation in PowerPoint 2013.

If you have a great number of slides this may not work so well. But if they are titled and easy to recognise you may be able to use the context menu for quicker access then skip back and forward.

Under the context submenu "Go to Slide" you will find the titles for your slides. Just click the one you want and it will go to that slide in its start form, first animation.

Often you have a standard box on every sheet, (logo, date, page#, etc, or you ca create one). You can now right-mouse click this item and choose 'Action settings' then place a tick 'Hyperlink to' next slide (or any other choice)

You can also build this in a master template: e.g. 3 buttons of your own design that go to: previous, next, or a preselected index page of your choice.
