Hyperlink is a function that allows putting links in a document that links the user to another section of that document or to an internet site for reference purposes. If this were a Word document rather than a PowerPoint document, then clicking on “document” above will take the user to “Linking within a document” below. In PowerPoint the links are to other slides rather than to a word in a slide’s text. This is covered in PowerPoint. The Hyperlink word is underlined similar to a web site link. To activate the link, hold down the control key and click the Hyperlink word. Hyperlink Within Document 1 Linking within a document 1. Decide where you want to go when clicking on a link. 2.
