Introduction

PowerPoint 2007 Hyperlinks and Action ButtonsIn PowerPoint, you have the ability to link to a webpage, email address, file, slide in the same presentation, and slide in a different presentation. You can do all of this using two tools called hyperlinks and action buttons.

In this lesson, you will learn how to insert hyperlinks using text and objects, as well as how to insert an action button.

Inserting hyperlinks


hyperlink is a connection from one slide to a webpage, email address, slide, or file. Text or objects such as pictures and shapes can be formatted as hyperlinks.

To insert a hyperlink to a webpage:

  • Select the text or object you want to use as a hyperlink. In this example, we will use text.
Text Hyperlink
  • Select the Insert tab.
  • Click the Hyperlink command in the Links group. The Insert Hyperlink dialog box will appear.

  • If you use text for the hyperlink, the Text to display field will appear active in the dialog box. The text you select on the slide will appear in this field.

    • Click ScreenTip. The Set Hyperlink ScreenTip dialog box will appear.
    • Enter the tip text.

Viewing the hyperlink

In PowerPoint, hyperlinks become active in Slide Show view. When you view the slide in Slide Show view, you'll notice that the pointer turns into a hand as it moves closer to the hyperlink. The hand pointer indicates that the text or object can be clicked. Because this text is automatically formatted differently from other text on the slide, the hand pointer is most useful for hyperlinks that use an object such as a picture or shape.

If you hover over the hyperlink, a ScreenTip will appear if you created one when you inserted the hyperlink. Click the hyperlink to open the webpage if the computer is connected to the Internet.

ScreenTip Example

To insert a hyperlink to a slide in the same presentation:

  • Select the text or object you want to use as a hyperlink. In this example, we will use text.
Text Hyperlink
  • Select the Insert tab.
  • Click the Hyperlink command in the Links group. The Insert Hyperlink dialog box will appear.

  • If you use text for the hyperlink, the Text to display field will appear active in the dialog box. The text you select on the slide will appear in this field.

  • Select the text or object you want to use as a hyperlink. In this example, we will use a picture.

You can edit and remove any hyperlink the same way, regardless of whether the hyperlink is to a slide, email address, or webpage.

Inserting action buttons

Another tool you can use to connect to a webpage, file, email address, or slide is called an action button, or action link. Action buttons are built-in button shapes you can add to a presentation and use as hyperlinks. When someone clicks or moves over the button, the action can occur.

Hyperlinks and action buttons are closely connected and can do many of the same things. Action buttons are used most for self-running presentations, such as those at a trade show booth or kiosk.

To insert an action button on all slides:

  • Select the View tab.
  • Click the Slide Master command in the Presentation Views group. The Slide Master view will appear.
  • Select slide 1, the slide master. Changes to this slide will appear on all slides in the presentation.
  • Select the Insert tab.
  • Click the Shapes command in the Illustrations group.
Insert Shape Command
  • Select an action button from the bottom of the list. In this example, we will select the Home action button.
Insert Action Button
  • Insert the shape onto the slide. The Actions Setting dialog box will appear.
Actions Setting Dialog Box
    • Select the Mouse Click or Mouse Over tab. Use the Mouse Click tab to set actions to occur when you click, and use the Mouse Over tab to set actions to occur when you move the cursor over the action button. In this example, we will leave the Mouse Click tab selected.
    • In the Action on click section, click None or Hyperlink to.
      • If you click None, the shape will have no action associated with it.
      • If you click Hyperlink to:, select an option from the menu. The hyperlink options work the same for action buttons as they do for traditional hyperlinks.
Hyperlink Menu
    • Click Play Sound if you want to play a sound when the action button is clicked.
      • Select a sound from the drop-down menu.
Action Sound
  • Click OK.

Action buttons do not have to be inserted on master slides. You can insert an action button on only one slide if you want.

To edit the action button:

  • Select the action button.
  • Select the Insert tab.
  • Click the Action command in the Links group. The Actions Settings dialog box will appear.
Action Command
  • Edit the action or hyperlink.
  • Click OK.

When the action button is selected, the Format tab is available because it is a shape. You can change the shape style or color so it matches the color scheme of the slide from this tab.

Challenge!

Use the Employee Orientation presentation or any other presentation you choose to complete this challenge.

  • Open a presentation.
  • Select text, and insert a hyperlink to a webpage.
  • Select an object, and insert a hyperlink to another slide in the presentation.
  • Insert an action button that uses sound.
