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.

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.

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.

I know this is a old post, but I reply anyways: In the newer versions of Powerpoint you can either

1. Click and drag the desired (link-)slide in the left menu (the canvas menu), into the slide where you want the link to be. A picture of that slide will then be pasted into the slide and work as a link.

2. You can right-click on any object => The option "Link", then on the right hand side you have bookmark, and then simply choose the specific slide.

But something I didn't find out was how to jump to a slide showing the "end result" after all animations have been played. The possible links I mentioned above always "reset" animations for all slides.
