Hyperlinks
Definition:
A hyperlink is a connection from one slide in a presentation to
another location. The other location can be another slide in
the current presentation, a slide in another presentation, a file,
a Web page address, or an e-mail address.
Any text or object on the slide including a clip art, WordArt,

graph, or image can be made into a clickable hyperlink.
Click for
more info Hyperlinks are not active in any of the PowerPoint views
used to develop slide shows, but become clickable when
the show is run.
This presentation will examine various types of hyperlinks and methods for
jumping to slides. We will begin with hyperlinks to the World Wide Web:
Linking to the Web
To insert a Hyperlink to a World Wide Web address,
follow these steps:
Highlight Text

Linking to the Web
From the Insert Tab, select Hyperlink.

Linking to the Web
In the Insert Hyperlink dialog box, enter the web address
(URL). Click Ok.
Make sure that Web

Page is the selected
hyperlink option.

Linking to the Web
To test out the link, go to Slide Show View.
The hyperlinked text will

become underlined and
colored to indicate that it
is clicked-able text.

Linking to the Web
Another way to do it:
 You can also create a Hyperlink to a World Wide Web address, by
simply typing the address (URL) on the slide:
Microsoft Office automatic-

ally recognizes and converts
web addresses into links.
To remove a hyperlink, right-

click and select “remove”
from the drop-down menu.
Linking to the Web
You can change the default link colors by modifying
Themes Colors, located under Design Tab.

Linking to the Web
It is also possible to turn clip art images, photographs,
or any other objects into hyperlinks.
The following steps show
how to make a clickable
image link:
Select the object,

then click
“Hyperlink” under
the Insert Tab.
Note that it is also possible to right-

click to insert Hyperlinks.
Linking to the Web
In the Insert Hyperlink dialog box, enter the web address
(URL). Click Ok.

Linking to the Web
Note that the cursor changes from an arrow to a hand when

rolled over an active hyperlink.

Linking to other slides
Linear vs. Non-linear Navigation
 The linear presentations that have been developed up to this point are
effective for short speaker-led slide shows or any presentation that is
always run from beginning to end. Linear presentations make use of the
basic navigation provided by PowerPoint, moving forward and backward
one slide at a time.
 By contrast, non-linear interactive presentations allow the order of a
slide show to be determined by the viewer. Interactive slide shows are
effective as kiosks, websites, and presentations that change based on
the audience.
Nonlinear navigation is added to a presentation using

hyperlinks and action buttons. These features provide an
intuitive way for users to move directly to materials of interest.
Each hyperlink or action button is linked to a specific slide, another
slide show, a Web page, or a file. The audience may view every
slide in the presentation, or just those of current interest.
To create a Hyperlink which enables viewers to jump
from one slide to another, follow these steps:
Highlight Text
For this
example,
we want to
create a
link from
slide #1 to
slide #3.

In the Insert Hyperlink dialog box, select “Place in This
Document”, then select the slide you want to jump to.


D. Action Buttons
Links to external files
It is also possible to target your hyperlinks to external files,
such as MS Word documents, Excel Spreadsheets, or even
other PowerPoint presentations.
Other Microsoft
Documents will
automatically open
when linked from
PowerPoint.
The steps are virtually identical to previous steps (linking to other slides).
To create a Hyperlink which enables viewers to open
an external file, follow these steps:
Highlight Text (or object)
For this example,

we want to create a
link to a Microsoft
Word document.


In the Insert Hyperlink dialog box, select “Existing File”,
then browse your files until you locate and select the file
you want to jump to.
Click OK.
Note: When the user closes the word document,

they will be returned to the slide show.
D. Action Buttons
Action Buttons
PowerPoint includes objects called action buttons that can
be inserted in a presentation and assigned a hyperlink.
Definition:
Action buttons consist of shapes, such as right- and left-facing arrows,
that are used to navigate through a presentation. They are designed
specifically for self-running presentations and presentations that run on
a company network or the Web. Action buttons perform their associat-
ed action when you click on them or pass the mouse over them.
Once the button is placed on a slide, it is assigned a

hyperlink that controls its action. Action buttons are effective
when a simple pictorial interface is needed for moving
between slides, playing movies, or playing sounds.
Action Buttons
To add an action button onto a slide follow these steps
Under Insert Tab, select Shapes, then choose an Action button
For this example, we want to add an

action button on slide 1 that will
allow the users to jump to slide #2.
Action Buttons
Once you’ve selected a button type, use the mouse to
drag and draw your button on the slide.

Action Buttons
In the Action Settings dialog box, specify what action to
take. In this example, we want to jump to the Next Slide.

Action Buttons
Jumps to
page 2

Action Buttons
Editing Action Buttons
To modify an action button, right-click to open the Edit Hyperlink dialog
box and make adjustments.
