Michael,
Well, then I'm on that alternate universe. I've tried just typing a number
and it does nothing. I've done this in the normal view, as well as in the
actual slide show (F5). I've gone to each of the panes (notes, thumbnail,
sorter, status bar, and main view) and in each place, typing just a number
either does nothing or just beeps at me.
I'll shoot a message to my FS PowerPoint instructor and ask him.

Dave, using Jaws 10 I remember being able to type in the slide number
without any preceding go to command. Could type 46, and you'd be at
slide 46. I never learned any go to command. Just tried ctrl + g in
case that was it, and that didn't do anything. I'm using 2007.
Don't know if you were sleeping for any part of the FS webinar, but
if they didn't include this simple bit of info either they were
asleep themselves (which could account for it no longer working in
Jaws 12) or Michel and I are in some alternate universe where it only
worked on our computers. Actually I am more and more thinking each
Jaws user is in a separate universe.
