Well, this might be _really_ hard to do...
I don't know what can be done with pdf forms and JavaScript, but
in any case one would have to specify a `mapping' from the
`TeX page number' of a page build to the range of acrobat pages
occupied by it.
Anyway, I'm not sure it is very convenient to jump to a
specific build by typing in a number...
I think for the near future it's more promising to
a) make a thumbnail for every build and then jump via the thumbnail
menu
b) make a bookmark for every build, e.g. one level below
\value{tocdepth}
As a typical presentation won't contain more than a couple
dozen builds, this should be feasible (especially as bookmarks
are organised in `folder fashion').

Using hyperref, you can define something like
\newcommand{\eosequence}{\hyperlink{page.\thepage}{\fbox{\normalsize\textbf{\tex
tsf{Complete Page}
\newcounter{nextpage}
\newcommand{\nextpage}{\setcounter{nextpage}{\value{page}+1}\hyperlink{page.\the
nextpage}{\fbox{\normalsize\textbf{\textsf{Next Page}
where \eosequence will create a button pointing to the
completed (current) page and \nextpage will create
a button pointing to the (completed) next page.
If you wish to go to the beginning of the next page, you
have to klick on the button created by \eosequence and then
advance one page with acroread.
Of course, when you are using a package like pdfscreen or
pdf/ifmslide which allows to customize panels, you can put
much nicer-looking versions of these buttons into the
panel, otherwise you have to put the buttons into the
headers or wherever it's convenient.
I'm planning to add more sophisticated support for
navigation to TeXPower (something like PPower4's
firstpage target pointing to the beginning of a sequence,
and also support for making thumbnails), but unless
there's very much demand for this (at least making a
target like beginningof.page.n which works like
page.n but points to the first page of the sequence
is easy), this'll have to wait until the first beta
release of TeXPower.

some tip
Hi Stephan Lehmke, let me tell you that you have made great progress in you excellent texpower, wich I use from the first version. I have a small question and need some tip: Let's assume that you have some slide with 20 overlays. In the middle of the talk, we decided that we should't present that one. Is it possible to make some key combination to pass that slide without press enter 20 times? Best regards, Pedro Caridade
