Create a custom show

I have a 52 slide presentation that will be distributed to a handful of sales
people. They will all be rearranging these slides to suit their specific
presentating needs, but I would like to make a custom show that will dictate
that slides 9-21 to always play in that sequence no matter how they reorder
the slides themselves.

Is there a way to do this? (I hope this makes sense)

A custom show will always play in the order it was made. You must use a
hyperlink to the show though rather than just a normal click. Maybe if you
explained exactly what you want to happen.

Hi John,

Hmmm... lets see if I can explain this simply.

I want one section of slides to always play together, no matter how the
presenter rearranges the slides. So say I have 10 slides, but I always want
slides 4,5 & 6 to present squentially.

So I give "Joe" the file and he rearranges the slides to show up as:
9,8,1,2,10,5,7,4,6. Is there a way to keep those slides (4,5 &6) presenting
together regardless of how he has set them up?

I have a feeling there isn't because the variable here is that I will never
know how these guys are going to rearrage their slides.

Cindy,

Custom shows are mapped using their slide IDs which is a unique value. As
long as the user drags and drops or cut/paste the slides to move them around
within the presentation, the ids don't change. So there shouldn't be a
problem. Copy/Paste would create a problem since it would assign new IDs to
the pasted slides.
