Hyperlinking: Linking to Another Presentation in PowerPoint

We already explored how you can link from an anchor object to any slide within the active presentation. However, this sort of linking is only the beginning of the possibilities for linking that PowerPoint provides. To take this to the next level, we will learn how you can link from an anchor object to any other PowerPoint presentation. In fact, you can also link to a particular slide in another presentation too!

Morph in PowerPoint: Using the Morph Transition with Characters in PowerPoint

We have explored how you can animate words between slides using the Morph transition effect. But what if you want to take this technique further to a kinetic typography level, where a hundred text characters need to animate to different positions and styles in the next slide?

Hyperlinking: Linking Between Slides in PowerPoint

While you can link from an anchor object on a slide to almost anywhere, you will certainly want first to explore how you can link between slides in the same presentation. This is simple to do, and also very useful because it lets you use your presentation in a non-linear way and you are not limited to viewing your slides in sequential order.

Interactivity and Linking Basics: Anatomy of a Link in PowerPoint

Linking (or hyperlinking) makes objects and documents connected to each other. To provide an analogy, consider each slide or presentation to be an individual computer on a network. Individual computers do some awesome work, but the network is much more useful and increases the worth of each individual computer. In this case, linking adds the network to your PowerPoint files. Linking can happen from one slide to another, or even to another file or a website from within PowerPoint presentations. In each of these linking scenarios, you will find that three factors are always present, which we call the anatomy of a link.

Audio in PowerPoint – Advanced: Advanced Audio Options

When you insert an audio clip into a PowerPoint slide, you can control its volume, set it to play looped, or even hide the audio icon. These are some of the advanced options available for any inserted audio clip in PowerPoint. Remember that these advanced options only exist so that you can use them when they are required, rather than using them just because they exist!
