Hyperlinks

Hyperlinks allow you to navigate around your PowerPoint easily by picking which slide you want to go to.

You have to apply the hyperlink to something on your menu to make it work.

From the “Insert Hyperlink” dialogue box that appears, choose “Place in this Document” on the left.

To attach a button select the “Slide Show” menu and choose “Action Buttons”.

From the “Action Buttons” fold out selection box, choose the button type you want to use.

When you move your mouse over each button, an explanation of what each one is will appear.

You then choose what action you want the button to perform from the selections and drop down menus that are on the form.

Page Control

To make your PowerPoint use only the page controls that you want, you have to turn off automatic page progression.

This will make your page controls very important.
