How do I jump to a specific slide number?

I inherited a bunch of Captivate presentations that contain over 100 slides. While editing, I frequently have to jump between specific slide numbers (slide number 5, 60, 71, etc.). I can't find a "Go To Slide #" in any of the Captivate menus. Is there really no way to jump to a specific slide number?

You need to look for 'Jump to Slide' if you need a simple action. However, there are more possibilities if you are not using the most recent version 12 when you need to combine with more actions in an advanced or shared action. You don't need the menu at all, you need to go to the Actions tab of the interactive object or of the slide.

Thank you for your response but isn't that for when *watching* the presentation?

I'm asking about how to jump to a specific slide when *editing* the presentation. For example, when creating a Keynote presentation I can use Control + Alt + G to jump to any slide number.

Can you explain what you want exactly? Both 'Go to Next Slide' and 'Jump to slide' are actions which will indeed be done on runtime. From your last comment it looks like you are looking for something else? Want navigation in the editing environment, in the Filmstrip? PgDwn and PgUp allow to navigate to the previous/next slide. To navigate to any slide, I would use the Advanced Interaction panel (F9) which is dynamically linked to the filmstrip. You can navigate quickly to a slide in that panel. More information about that panel (which is not available in the most recent version 12):

You can keep it floating (even in the Newbie UI) and minimize to the title to keep it around as navigation help.
