You can link an object to another slide within your presentation by inserting a hyperlink into the object. This creates a clickable link that takes the viewer directly to a specified slide when the object is clicked.
Here's a simple process to create a link from an object to a slide:
Steps to Link an Object to a Slide
Linking an object, such as a shape, picture, or text box, to a specific slide in your presentation allows for interactive navigation. Follow these steps to insert an internal hyperlink:
- Select the Object: Click the object you want to use as the link source. This could be any visual element or text box on your slide.
- Access the Link Feature: Go to the Insert tab in your presentation software. Within this tab, find and click Link.
- Choose Internal Linking: In the linking options that appear, look for the main tabs and click Place in This Document. This option is specifically for linking to locations within the same presentation file. An outline showing your presentation's structure, including all slides, will be displayed.
- Select the Destination Slide: From the outline that appears, select the slide you want the object to be linked to. Scroll through the outline if necessary to find the target slide.
- Confirm the Link: Click OK to create the hyperlink.
Once these steps are completed, the selected object will function as a link. When presenting, clicking this object will navigate the audience directly to the chosen destination slide. This method is ideal for creating contents pages, navigation buttons, or branching pathways within interactive presentations.
