G. Hyperlinks and Action Buttons
Whenever you use the Web, you are using hyperlinks to
Interactive Presentations

navigate from one webpage to another. If you want to

include a web address or email address in your PowerPoint
presentation, you can choose to format them as hyperlinks

other slides within a presentation.

that allows you to modify slides and
slide layouts in your presentation.
From there, you can edit the slide

 Keynote Presentations

Keynote is an app developed by

Apple Inc. It is the “Mac version”
of Power Point and its functions
Interactive Presentations

are somehow similar.

When you open Keynote, you’ll

get a welcome window where
your documents will show.

The program comes with various

professionally designed
templates. As we stated about
PowerPoint, it is best not to use

C. Working with animations.
Keynote has some animations that can
Interactive Presentations

give your presentation a new,

dynamic edge.

In this example, we’ll animate our title,

“Layout”, and then each point
individually. First, click on the item that
you want to animate (remember this
applies not only for text boxes, but an
image, chart or table) then click on
the “Inspector” button in the top-right
hand corner, and select
the Build option (third from the left).

D. Exporting your work.
One of the greatest things about
Interactive Presentations

Keynote is that you don’t have to

worry too much about compatibility
issues, because your slides can be
exported as a movie (in .mov or
QuickTime format), but also in the
familiar PPT for PowerPoint, PDF for
document distribution or even web
HTML extension. If you own an
iDevice such as an iPod, the format
is available as well.

And a great capability of Mac and Keynote is that you can track
previous versions of your file, through the Browse all versions feature,
found in File > Revert To > Browse All Versions.
