Creating Hyperlinks

On a PowerPoint Slide you can create links which connect to other slides in a nonlinear way or links to a Web Page.

Start by highlighting the word or picture that you want to link by clicking on it. Then go to the Insert Menu and choose Hyperlink. If you go to the Insert Menu and Hyperlink is faded it means that you have not indicated what you want to hyperlink. The text that you have highlighted will be in the “Text To Display” box. In the “File or Web Page Name” box put either the file you want to link to or the URL of the Web Page. If you choose “Page in this Document” on the Left Side Bar you will see a list of the slides you have created so far. Just click on the one you want to link to in order to create a link. When you are done press OK. A line should appear under your text and it will change color to indicate that it is a link.
