SYMPTOMSWhen you use the following method in a macro, a slide other than the one you expected may appear
where x is the index value representing the slide you want to be displayed.
CAUSE
The GotoSlide method makes use of the current slide index. If you are using a custom slide show, the index values for the slides in the show will be used, not their default values.

For example, let's say slide 25 is slide 4 in Custom Show 2. To have the GotoSlide method go to that slide, the code should look like this:
Even though it has the slide index value of 25, it is the fourth slide in Custom Show 2. Therefore, you need to reference it that way.
