SlideShowWindows(1).View.GotoSlide 3

I cannot see the equivalent of an OnKey event which enables you to monitor keystrokes but it may be possible with Class Modules if it was a must have.

I can assist with creating some macros for PPt if you want to go down that track.

488854 2006-10-04 08:08:00 Hi Parry / Graham. I did consider following Scouse's advice, but the thing is that there is a 25% chance for sentence 1 to appear first, then there is a 33.3% chance for sentence 3 to appear next, then 25% chance for sentence 2 to appear, and lastly 100% chance for sentence 4 to appear. If I were to follow his (or her, depending on Scouse's gender) advice, then I would have to prepare a lot of slides as I have to cater each of the probability tree. As such, for the first sentence, I would have to prepare 4 slides to cater for each of the sentences (i.e. 1,2,3 and 4). If you still don't get it, here's an image of probability tree:
