00:00:07.140 --> 00:00:14.140
In PowerPoint, you have the ability to link
to a web page, email address, file, or a slide.

00:00:14.900 --> 00:00:19.050
You can even launch a program.
You can do all of this using two tools called

00:00:19.050 --> 00:00:26.050
hyperlinks and action buttons.
Let's take a look at how hyperlinks work.

00:00:27.429 --> 00:00:33.700
After the orientation, all the employees will
receive an electronic copy of these slides.

00:00:33.700 --> 00:00:40.350
I want to insert a new slide that includes
a list of resources for the new employees.

00:00:40.350 --> 00:00:46.070
Some of these resources are web sites.
I can insert a hyperlink on this slide that

00:00:46.070 --> 00:00:53.070
will link to a website.
A hyperlink is a connection from one slide

00:00:53.230 --> 00:01:00.230
to a web page, email address, slide, or file.
Text or an object such as a picture or shape

00:01:02.500 --> 00:01:08.900
can be used as a hyperlink.
To insert a hyperlink, first select the text

00:01:08.900 --> 00:01:15.900
or object that you want to use.
In this case, I want this text to be the hyperlink,

00:01:17.110 --> 00:01:22.530
or connection, to the website, so I'll just
select it.

00:01:22.530 --> 00:01:31.640
Then, select the Insert tab.
In the Links group, click the Hyperlink command.

00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:38.640
This opens the Insert Hyperlink dialog box.
If you're using text, at the top you'll see

00:01:38.729 --> 00:01:45.729
a Text to display field that is active.
The text we selected on the slide appears

00:01:45.750 --> 00:01:50.869
there.
On the left of the dialog box you'll see four

00:01:50.869 --> 00:01:57.869
options, Existing File or Web page, Place
in this Document, Create New Document, and

00:02:00.409 --> 00:02:05.219
Email Address.
I want this text to connect to a web page,

00:02:05.219 --> 00:02:12.219
so I'll leave that selected.
Now, in the Address field I need to enter

00:02:12.380 --> 00:02:17.830
the website address that I want to display
when the link is clicked, so I'll just type

00:02:17.830 --> 00:02:27.890
www.GCFLearnFree.org.
Once you've entered the 
web address, decide whether you want a ScreenTip

00:02:27.890 --> 00:02:34.670
to appear when you hover over the hyperlink.
ScreenTips are the little boxes of text that

00:02:34.670 --> 00:02:40.540
appear when you hover over a command.
The tips provide directions or explain more

00:02:40.540 --> 00:02:45.110
about the command.
If you do want to insert a ScreenTip, just

00:02:45.110 --> 00:02:50.780
click ScreenTip and a small dialog box appears.

00:02:50.780 --> 00:02:57.780
Just enter the text you want to appear as
the tip.

00:03:01.590 --> 00:03:07.099
Once you've entered your text, click OK and
then click OK in the Insert Hyperlink dialog

00:03:07.099 --> 00:03:11.799
box.
If you are working with text, click anywhere

00:03:11.799 --> 00:03:16.940
on the slide to deselect the text so you can
see the hyperlink.

00:03:16.940 --> 00:03:21.709
Since we are using text right now, you'll
notice that hyperlinked text is displayed

00:03:21.709 --> 00:03:27.799
underlined and in a color that coordinates
with the color scheme.

00:03:27.799 --> 00:03:33.409
If you are using an object hyperlink, it won't
have additional formatting.

00:03:33.409 --> 00:03:40.409
In PowerPoint, hyperlinks become active when
you run the presentation, so let's select

00:03:41.370 --> 00:03:46.700
Slide Show View.
Now, as you move the pointer toward the hyperlink

00:03:46.700 --> 00:03:52.080
it becomes a hand.
This indicates that this is something you

00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:55.739
can click.
This is especially useful if you're using

00:03:55.739 --> 00:04:02.739
an object like a picture or shape as a hyperlink.
As you hover over the hyperlink, a ScreenTip

00:04:03.620 --> 00:04:10.400
will appear, if you entered one.
Just click the hyperlinked text to open the

00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:16.750
web page if you are connected to the Internet.
As I mentioned, you can insert a hyperlink

00:04:16.750 --> 00:04:23.490
to another slide in the presentation.
At AdWorks, managers have books and other

00:04:23.490 --> 00:04:30.490
offline resources that they can lend to employees.
I may want to insert a hyperlink here that

00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:37.160
connects to our Organization chart.
To do this, select the text or object you

00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:44.160
wish to use as a hyperlink and then click
the Hyperlink command on the Insert tab.

00:04:47.700 --> 00:04:54.700
The Insert Hyperlink dialog box appears.
Click Place in this Document since we want

00:04:55.840 --> 00:05:02.840
to link to another slide.
When you do this, the dialog box will change

00:05:02.950 --> 00:05:08.990
and you'll see a box with the list of the
slides in your presentation.

00:05:08.990 --> 00:05:15.170
You'll also see a more generic listing of
the slides such as First Slide, Last Slide,

00:05:15.170 --> 00:05:19.750
Next Slide.
As you click a slide, a thumbnail image of

00:05:19.750 --> 00:05:26.750
it will appear in the Slide preview area.
Select the slide you wish to link to, which

00:05:27.770 --> 00:05:32.950
in this case is slide 6, our Organization
slide.

00:05:32.950 --> 00:05:39.220
If you want to include a ScreenTip, you can
add that now and once you are ready, just

00:05:39.220 --> 00:05:42.840
click OK.
If you are working with text, you can see

00:05:42.840 --> 00:05:49.430
the hyperlink on the slide.
Let's take a look at it in Slide show view.

00:05:49.430 --> 00:05:53.860
When we click this hyperlink, the Organization
slide will appear.

00:05:53.860 --> 00:05:58.200
See, adding hyperlinks is not difficult at
all.

00:05:58.200 --> 00:06:05.200
I'll just press Esc to return to Normal view.
I mentioned before that you can link to a

00:06:05.440 --> 00:06:08.780
file.
Let's say I want to link to a presentation

00:06:08.780 --> 00:06:14.550
about Financial and Retirement Planning.
This hyperlink works just the same as the

00:06:14.550 --> 00:06:19.970
two we've already looked at.
Once you have selected the text or object

00:06:19.970 --> 00:06:26.470
you want to use as a hyperlink, you can open
the Insert Hyperlink dialog box.

00:06:26.470 --> 00:06:33.470
If I wanted to, I could create a new document
and link to it but honestly, I never use this

00:06:34.220 --> 00:06:39.150
option.
I'll let you explore this option on your own.

00:06:39.150 --> 00:06:44.240
I'm actually going to select Existing File
or Web page.

00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:48.830
In the center I have all the tools I need
to locate the file.

00:06:48.830 --> 00:06:55.320
The file I need is right here on my desktop,
so I'll just select it.

00:06:55.320 --> 00:07:00.650
You'll notice that the file name appears in
the Address field.

00:07:00.650 --> 00:07:05.470
Click the Bookmark button and a dialog box
appears.

00:07:05.470 --> 00:07:09.830
From here, you need to select the slide in
your financial planning presentation that

00:07:09.830 --> 00:07:19.710
you want to link to, and then click OK.
If you have a ScreenTip to enter, you can

00:07:19.710 --> 00:07:24.190
do that now.
Then click Ok to close the Insert Hyperlink

00:07:24.190 --> 00:07:31.190
dialog box.
If you go to Slide Show view and click the

00:07:31.490 --> 00:07:38.490
hyperlink, the slide we bookmarked in our
financial planning slide show will appear.

00:07:40.220 --> 00:07:47.080
Knowing how to hyperlink files, slides, web
pages, and email addresses can be quite convenient

00:07:47.080 --> 00:07:52.000
during a slide show presentation.
Try it out for yourself to see how simple 

00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:52.950
it is to create hyperlinks.
