What is the shortcut key for starting the slideshow from the selected or active slide?

When you press F5 while going through a Powerpoint PPT, it fullscreens the PPT but goes to the 1st slide. I want to see the current slide fullscreen - is there a way to do this?

Solution 1

Shift + F5 is what you are looking for.

Solution 2

Not sure this is the same for all versions, but pressing Shift + F5 will start at the current slide in 2010.

There is also this icon on the status bar which will do the same thing.
