hyperlinks in PowerPoint Act just like
the links you find online they have
their own display text for example
usa.gov retirement resources and also an
email address webpage or some other
location that they're linked to
I'd like to show you how to turn text
into a link starting here all you have
to do is go to the insert tab then
hyperlink in this dialogue box you can
see the text the link is going to
display and edit it if you need to you
can also enter a web address here when
you're done click OK and the text turns
into a hyperlink why don't we try
linking to something else maybe an email
address I think it would be nice if new
employees could click this person's name
to contact human resources this time I'm
going to right click the text and choose
hyperlink here instead of going to the
insert tab now click email address and
type other options include linking to a
file on your computer for example I'd
like to be able to pull up the employee
benefits guide which happens to be a
Word document
again just right-click go to hyperlink
and choose existing file or webpage here
you can navigate to any file on your
computer
and double click the one you want to
create a link keep in mind your link to
another file may not work if you plan to
send your PowerPoint out or present it
on a different computer make sure you
have a copy of the linked file on the
computer you're using to present and
always test your hyperlinks before
giving a presentation to test just
right-click and go to open hyperlink
this one's working just fine other
things you can
thus by right-clicking any of your links
the ability to edit the hyperlink or
remove it there's one more type of link
I'd like to try at the beginning of my
presentation where I have a sort of
table of contents we can make this
presentation navigable by turning these
into links links that connect to other
slides let's start with about add works
go to place in this document and you can
choose from a list of slides with a
little preview to the right here's the
one we want to link to keep going until
your table of contents is complete and
don't be afraid to get creative there
are lots of things you can do with the
ability to link to other slides let's
try out one of these links in slideshow
view
see that I was just on slide 2 now I'm
on slide 13 these hyperlinks are going
to be a big help to me and also to
anyone who views the presentation on
their own
