Hyperlinking in Powerpoint A.What are hyperlinks?

Hyperlinks connect one slide in your powerpoint to another slide. Open the file hyperlinking_sample.pps It also enables you as well to connect your powerpoint to another file, webpage and even email. As such, it is very useful to help you in navigation. Words, pictures and objects are can be used as hyperlinks.

B. Inserting a hyperlink
Lets recreate the hyperlinking_sample.pss. 1. Open the file hyperlinking_activity.ppt 2. First we need to Set Up the Slide Show to prevent mouse-clicks from advancing slides. We do this by selecting Slide Show from the menu bar, then select Set up Slide Show.

Select the Browsed at a kiosk (full screen) option then press OK.

There you go! Try to preview the file by pressing F5. As you can notice, the powerpoint will not proceed to the next slide. Press ESC button to exit. 3. Now we are ready to put the hyperlinks. First we need to hyperlink (connect) the Philippine flag to the Slide with the Correct! label. 4. Click on the Philippine flag. From the menu bar, select Insert, then Hyperlink. (Shortcut is Ctrl + K)

5. On the left column, select Place in This Document, then select the appropriate slide number (in our case slide #2), and press OK.

There you go! The Philippine flag is already connected to Slide #2. Try to preview the presentation by pressing F5. 6. Try to do the same process for the American Flag, and the BACK texts. REMEMBER: You can also link your powerpoint to an existing file or webpage by selecting that option in the insert hyperlink window.
