Teacher Tip :: POWERPOINT HYPERLINKS

Creating Hyperlinks in PowerPoint

Select an object. It can be an AutoShape (shape), placeholder, or the text itself. If you select text, the text will have an underline and become the hyperlink color in the color scheme (theme colors). Then choose Insert > Hyperlink (in 2007, Insert tab > Links group > Hyperlink).

In the Insert Hyperlink dialog box, choose the type of link on the left:

Existing File or Web Page
Place in This Document
