When you work in Microsoft PowerPoint, you can attach material that is outside the presentation using hyperlinks. Thanks to hyperlinks, you can link part of the presentation to another slide in the same file, a separate PowerPoint presentation, website, email address, or other file (for example, a Word document). In other words, you can do a lot of useful things with them. This article is intended to demonstrate how to hyperlink a presentation.
A bunch within the same file
First, you can associate an element with another slide located in the same presentation. In this case, you must create a hyperlink for the link in this picture. Just click on the image to select it, and then move the cursor to the "Insert" tab in the top navigation bar and select the "Hyperlink" option from the group of links.
In the dialog box located on the left side, you can see that PowerPoint provides four different layout options. You can link to a separate file or web page, another place in this document, a new document that you create, or an email address. If you are going to associate a picture with another slide, you must select the second option, and then the slide to which you intend to follow the link, and then click the "OK" button.
How to check?
Outwardly, the page will not look changed, so you should check it by clicking on the desired slideshow tab in the top navigation bar. You will be able to see when you hover over the image that the arrow turns into a small pen indicating that it is a hyperlink. If you click on this picture, you will automatically switch to another slide in the presentation with which the link was configured.
How to make a hyperlink in a presentation to another file?
Another thing you can do is set up a bundle with a third-party file. To do this, select the desired slide, the menu for creating hyperlinks (as in the previous step) and add the address leading to another document of your choice.
In addition, you can associate a table with a JPEG image. Thus, when you click on a specific element, you will follow an external link. In order to implement such creation of hyperlinks in the presentation, you must return to the “Insert” tab located in the top menu. Then you are required to select the button with the hyperlink again, and this time select the first option - for an existing file or web page, and then navigate the configured path to the file. You must select this file and click OK.
By following this guide on how to hyperlink your presentation, you should check the result. To do this, go to the top menu again and, choosing the slide show tab, start viewing from the current slide. Here you can see the cursor, when you hover over a certain area and press, another application launches in order to display the associated file.
How to insert a hyperlink in a presentation on a web page?
If you want to insert links to certain Internet pages in your pictures, you must return to the original menu. Select the image from which the transition should be carried out, and save the online link you need. Using the instructions above, select the menu for inserting links. However, this time, instead of selecting a file, you must enter the URL for the web page in the desired field, and then click OK. After that, you should take a quick look to see that your settings work. If everything is done correctly, you should go with one click directly to a given web page.
Thus, the answer to the question of how to make a hyperlink in the presentation is not difficult. If you want to cancel the specified links, you can simply select the source again and select the button with the inscription “delete” on the insert tab.
