WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:06.990 --> 00:00:12.140 Creating a hyperlink to an email address is just as easy. 00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:18.310 Since we've mainly been working with text, let me show you how hyperlinks work with objects, 00:00:18.310 --> 00:00:24.340 as well. I have this picture I want to use as a hyperlink 00:00:24.340 --> 00:00:29.880 so people can email us. I just need to select the object or text in 00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:36.010 this case our picture. Then, open the Insert Hyperlink dialog box 00:00:36.010 --> 00:00:39.880 like before. Only this time we'll select Email Addresses 00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:44.430 on the left. If you are using text as your hyperlink, the 00:00:44.430 --> 00:00:51.430 Text to display field will appear active and have the selected text inside. 00:00:51.940 --> 00:00:58.940 Since we're working with an object, we don't have to worry about that. 00:00:59.420 --> 00:01:06.420 Enter mailto: and then the email address you want users to contact. 00:01:11.070 --> 00:01:17.429 Mailto with a colon after it let's PowerPoint know you are using an email address. 00:01:17.429 --> 00:01:24.359 When you're ready, click Ok in the Insert Hyperlink dialog box. 00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:29.039 Now that we've thoroughly covered inserting hyperlinks, you may want to know how to edit 00:01:29.039 --> 00:01:34.520 or remove the hyperlink. To do this, just select the text or object 00:01:34.520 --> 00:01:40.140 that is hyperlinked, and click Hyperlink on the Insert tab. 00:01:40.140 --> 00:01:46.409 The Edit Hyperlink dialog box appears. Now you can edit the selected hyperlink or 00:01:46.409 --> 00:01:51.999 click the Remove Link button to remove the link. 00:01:51.999 --> 00:01:58.009 I'll just delete this. Another tool you can use to connect to a web 00:01:58.009 --> 00:02:05.009 page, file, email address, or a slide is called an action button. 00:02:05.389 --> 00:02:09.920 Action buttons are built-in button shapes that you can add to a presentation and assign 00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:15.800 a hyperlink or action to. Hyperlinks and Action Buttons are closely 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:22.800 connected and overlap in what they can do. Action buttons are most often used for self-running 00:02:23.780 --> 00:02:30.780 presentations so people can navigate the slides. Let's see how action buttons work. 00:02:32.190 --> 00:02:39.190 Click the Shapes command on the Insert tab. At the bottom of the shapes list you'll see 00:02:39.470 --> 00:02:46.470 a section called Action Buttons. We have options such as Back, Next, Home, 00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:54.720 Information, and more. I think I'd like this Home button on all our 00:02:54.720 --> 00:03:00.200 slides so people can quickly return to slide 1. 00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:06.870 To do this, I need to first go to the slide master. 00:03:06.870 --> 00:03:13.870 I can go back to the Shapes command on the Insert tab and select the Home action button. 00:03:14.230 --> 00:03:21.230 As I move the pointer toward the slide, it will turn into a cross. 00:03:21.340 --> 00:03:28.320 I can insert the action button just as you would any other shape. 00:03:28.320 --> 00:03:32.090 I'll insert it in the bottom left of the slide master. 00:03:32.090 --> 00:03:37.790 I just need to click and drag while holding down the mouse button until the shape is the 00:03:37.790 --> 00:03:43.100 desired size. Then, release the mouse button. 00:03:43.100 --> 00:03:51.890 The Actions Settings dialog box appears. By default Mouse Click is active, but if we 00:03:51.890 --> 00:03:57.210 select the Mouse Over tab, we can see our options are the same. 00:03:57.210 --> 00:04:03.310 So basically, we can decide whether we want these actions to happen on the click or when 00:04:03.310 --> 00:04:10.310 you move over the button with the mouse. I'll leave the Mouse Click tab selected. 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:19.080 Right now, let's look at our hyperlink options. We can link to slides in the same presentation, 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:25.960 websites and email addresses, other PowerPoint presentations, and other files. 00:04:25.960 --> 00:04:31.930 Everything works very similar in this dialog box as it does in the Insert Hyperlink dialog 00:04:31.930 --> 00:04:35.699 box. I'm not going to show you how to hyperlink 00:04:35.699 --> 00:04:41.099 to each of these because if you understand hyperlinks I know you can use this dialog 00:04:41.099 --> 00:04:46.610 box. To hyperlink to our title slide, just select 00:04:46.610 --> 00:04:52.979 First Slide. Then, if you want it to play a sound, click 00:04:52.979 --> 00:04:58.689 Play Sound and then select a sound from the drop-down menu. 00:04:58.689 --> 00:05:04.300 This will cause the sound you select to play when you click the Action button. 00:05:04.300 --> 00:05:10.210 If you want the sound to play when you move the mouse over the button, just select the 00:05:10.210 --> 00:05:17.210 Mouse Over tab, click Play Sound and then select a sound from the drop-down menu. 00:05:21.520 --> 00:05:26.930 We really don't need a sound here, but I'll choose a Click sound just so you can see it 00:05:26.930 --> 00:05:31.930 works. Click OK and now let's take a look at it in 00:05:31.930 --> 00:05:38.029 Slide Show view. Now, when I click the button on any slide, 00:05:38.029 --> 00:05:44.520 we'll go back to our first slide. To edit the Action Button, just select it, 00:05:44.520 --> 00:05:50.629 and then click the Action command in the Links group on the Home tab. 00:05:50.629 --> 00:05:56.330 This opens the Actions Settings dialog box so you can make the necessary changes. 00:05:56.330 --> 00:06:03.330 You may have also noticed that when the action button is selected, the Format tab is available. 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:10.379 That is because it is a shape. If you want to change the shape style or color 00:06:10.379 --> 00:06:17.379 so it looks better with the presentation, you can do this from this tab. 00:06:18.499 --> 00:06:22.979 You don't have to insert Action Buttons on the slide master, they work the same way on 00:06:22.979 --> 00:06:29.479 individual slides in Normal view. Now that you know how to use Hyperlinks and 00:06:29.479 --> 00:06:34.349 Action Buttons try adding a few of your own to see how they work. 00:06:34.349 --> 00:06:40.289 Remember to always double check the file location or web address you insert to avoid linking 00:06:40.289 --> 00:06:41.800 to the wrong information!
