Link to the web from your presentations

You can create hyperlinks to pages or sites on the

World Wide Web to supplement the content in your

presentations. These links are available to click when

you deliver your presentation in Slide Show view. The

hyperlinks are underlined so that you can

differentiate them from normal text. When you click

the link, your Internet browser opens with the Web

page loaded.

You can also create hyperlinks to pages on your

company’s intranet site. For example, in a

presentation about company sales performance, you

can include links to supplemental sales data in case

detailed questions are asked about the points in your

slides. Likewise, when giving a presentation about

your company’s marketing efforts, you can include a

link to your company’s Web site and internal

marketing sites.

You can also add hyperlinks to graphics, shapes, or

other objects on your slides. To create a hyperlink on

a graphic or shape, follow the steps below, but in

Step 1, click the graphic or shape, and then proceed

with Step 2.

1 Select the text to which you

want to add the hyperlink.

2 Click the Insert tab.

3 Click Hyperlink.

The Insert Hyperlink

dialog box appears.

4 Click Existing File or

Web Page.

5 Use the Address text

box to type the address

of the Web page you

want to link to.

6 Click OK.

The Insert Hyperlink dialog box closes.

7 Press F5 to view the slide in Slide Show

mode.

* The slide appears in Slide Show mode

with the hyperlink.

Change It!

By default, when you position

your mouse pointer over the

hyperlink, the target URL appears.

If you want it to display different

text, follow Steps 1 to 5 above,

and then click the ScreenTip

button. Type the desired text in

the ScreenTip text box in the Set

Hyperlink ScreenTip dialog box,

and then click OK.

Try This!

The easiest way to insert the

hyperlink into the Address field in

the Insert Hyperlink dialog box is to

start in the browser with the Web

page loaded. Select and copy the

address line displayed in your

browser. In Step 5 above, click

inside the Address text box and

then press Ctrl+V to paste the

address.
