Opening a New Slideshow Start /Programs/ Microsoft Office/PowerPoint PowerPoint may have to install; if it does, please wait while it installs. PowerPoint will automatically start a new slideshow for you when you run the program. If you need to create a new slideshow aside from the one PowerPoint creates when the program is run click the link “Blank presentation” on the right hand side of the screen under the label New and click OK.
Applying a Design Template Please click on Format Slide Design To the right hand side of your screen many templates will be available for you to select from. Select a Template of your choice by clicking on it once. This will be the template for your current slide and all your futures slides. If you want to select the template only for this slide, move your cursor over a template until a down pointing arrow appears to the right of he template and click on that arrow. Select Apply to Selected Slides. Now direct your attention to the top of the box showing the templates. You will see a link labeled Color Schemes; click on this link. Choose a color scheme is the same as applying a template; you may apply the scheme to the whole slideshow, or just the selected slides; choose a different color scheme or keep the same scheme if you so desire. You may also make your own color scheme with the Slide Design wizard. Please direct your attention to the bottom right hand side of the screen and click the link Edit Color Schemes. To change the color of the schemes to your choice, double click on the color to the left of the option. You can make a custom color or click the Standard tab and use the standard colors found in Windows.
Choosing a Slide Layout Format a Slide Layout There are many preset slide layouts from which you may choose listed to the right of your screen. The different types of layouts contain different objects that you will learn about through the course of this seminar. Please select Title Slide (a slide with two horizontal bars, the top one longer than the bottom) under the Text Layouts label.
About Text Boxes Click on the text box Click to Add Title. From here, you may enter in text, much like Microsoft Word. Please type a title for your slideshow. Also like word, you may format your text to fit your tastes. To do this, highlight your text and click Format a Font. Notice that you can change the style of font, various effects, style, size, color, and whether you want this style of text to be the default for any new text boxes; there is also a Preview button to preview your text. The shortcuts used in Windows and Microsoft Word may also be used to edit text. Ctrl-c to copy highlighted text, Ctrl-x to cut highlighted text, Ctrl-v to paste copied text to template, ctrl-b to make a bold font, etc. You may change the alignment of your text box by clicking Format a Alignment. Four options will appear for you to choose from: Left, Right, Center, and Justify. The default alignment is center. *Note: sometimes not all options will appear when you open Format from the toolbar. Sometimes two down-pointing arrows will appear at the bottom of available options, click on those two arrows to see all of the available options. You may move the text box around by moving the cursor over the dashed lines, clicking, holding, and moving the selected box to your desired location. The circles surrounding the textbox are used for resizing your textbox. To do this, simply click and hold on one of the circles and move the cursor. To delete a text box, simply click on the text box once, click on the dashed line once, and press the Delete or Backspace key. PowerPoint has many different objects that are preset on the slide layouts. If you wish to delete them, simply click on the dashed line once, and press the Delete or Backspace key. Try deleting the two objects on your screen now. In PowerPoint, there are more ways than one to perform an action. By clicking on any text box once and right clicking on the dashed line, more options will be available to you. We will discuss some of these later in the seminar
The Toolbars 
There are various shortcuts available to you through some of the toolbars found on PowerPoint. These toolbars are customizable to your needs. To add or remove these shortcuts click on the arrow pointing down at the end of each toolbar Add or Remove Buttons. From here, many buttons are available to you to make available or to hide. *Notice that there are four main and separate toolbars that are default for PowerPoint. You may also move these toolbars around to fit your tastes. To do this, move the cursor over the white bar found on the leftmost side of the toolbar. You may move the toolbar left, right, or make it float in PowerPoint. By moving the cursor over each button on the toolbar and waiting for a few seconds, a small help box will appear which tells you what the button does. Please direct your attention to the “Text” toolbar. By selecting your textboxes throughout the slideshow you may edit them through the use of the buttons on the toolbar. This is much easier than going through the Font bar every time you want to change your text. Now direct your attention to the “Paint” toolbar. If you are familiar with the standard image editor, Paint, found in windows, many of the buttons should be recognizable. We will discuss some of the more common and useful shortcuts available to you. Four of the “Drawing” tools available to you through this toolbar is the Line tool, represented by a single diagonal line, the Arrow tool, represented by a single diagonal line with an arrow on the terminal end, the Rectangle and Oval tools, represented by a rectangle and oval respectively.
The Line tool will allow you to draw straight lines in your slide show. The Arrow tool will draw straight lines with an arrow on the terminal end. When any line is selected, squares will appear at each end of the lines. Click and hold on these squares and move the cursor to move and/or resize the arrow. Please notice the Line Color tool signified by the tip of a paintbrush. This tool is used to change the color of the lines created. To do this, select the line of which you would like to change the color. Select the color by clicking on the single down-pointing arrow to the right of the box. From here you may select the color of your line. Any lines created hereafter may be changed to this color by simply clicking on the line and clicking on the Line Color tool. Please direct your attention to the Oval and Rectangle tools. Both of these tools work in much the same way that the Line and Arrow tools operate. You may resize and move these shapes much like the textbox and line tools. Now direct your attention to the Fill Color tool represented by a spilling paint bucket. This tool will allow you to change the fill color of the Ovals and Rectangles that you create as well as any Text Box that you have created. To change the color for filling, simply select the text box or shape that you wish to fill with color. Now click on the single down-pointing arrow to the right of the Fill Color tool. You may select a color from the options given or select More Fill Colors to find different colors. To change the fill color of any text boxes or shapes hereafter, simply click on the paint bucket and the fill color of the object you selected will change to the color you have set as the fill color. Please direct your attention to the Line Style, Dash Style, and Arrow Style tools represented by a set of lines, dashes, and arrows respectively. These tools will allow you to create lines or dashed lines around text boxes and shapes as well as the properties of any line you have created thus far. The Arrow Style box will allow you to change the style of any line you have created thus far. Please direct your attention to the Text Box tool and the Font Color tools represented by word processor sheet and a capital A respectively. By clicking on the Text Box tool, you may create an additional and separate text box that was not preset by PowerPoint at the creation of this slide. This text box is exactly the same as the presets, except for one thing, you may angle these boxes. To do this, simply click and hold on the green circle that is attached to the box and rotate it as you wish. *Note: PowerPoint will automatically allocate space for your text if you go beyond the single line that is shown upon creation. You may quickly change the color of the text you have typed in text boxes by using the Font Color tool. To change the color of the font, select and highlight the text of which you wish to change the color. Click on the single down-pointing arrow to the right of the Font Color tool and select the desired color. To change the color of any font hereafter, simply select and highlight the text and click on the Font Color tool. This will change the color that you have set for the Font Color.
Word Art
Please direct your attention to the WordArt tool, represented by the slanted capital A. This tool acts much like the Text Box tool, but it gives more color and shape to your text. Many find this tool attractive to use for titles for slides. Please click on the WordArt tool and select a preset option. Next, enter the text that you wish to be shown in the word art and click OK.
Notice that this object may be resized just like a text box. In addition to resizing the object, you may select a focal point to which the text will angle towards. To do this, click and hold the small yellow diamond (which is found at various points around the object depending on which WordArt option you chose) and move the diamond in the direction that you want the text to angle towards. You may have also noticed that when you select your WordArt object, a new floating toolbar appears in PowerPoint. There are a few tools on this toolbar that will allow you to customize the WordArt beyond the defaults of PowerPoint. There are four tools that will allow you to change the basic Format of the WordArt, which are usually located to the right on the WordArt toolbar. The WordArt Same Letter Heights (represented by a capital A and lowercase A of the same height), will resize the height of each letter to be se same as all the others. The WordArt Vertical Text (represented by a capital A in the upper left corner and two lower case B’s with arrows pointing to each other), will make your WordArt appear vertically instead horizontal (or horizontal instead of vertical depending on the WordArt you chose). The WordArt Alignment (represented by a small set of vertical lines) will allow you to select the type of alignment you wish to use for the WordArt. The WordArt Character Spacing (represented a capital A and V with a double-arrow line below them) will allow you to choose the spacing between each letter of the WordArt. Next, there are four more tools available to you that will change the image of your WordArt, which are usually located in the middle of the WordArt toolbar. The first is the WordArt Gallery option (represented by a spreadsheet with a slanted capital A in front of it), which allows the user to change the WordArt image to one of the other preset options found in PowerPoint. *Note you may preview the art before selecting it. The Format WordArt option (represented by a paint bucket and paintbrush), will bring up more advanced options for WordArt. By clicking on this toolbox you may manually change the color, lines, the size, and the position of your WordArt. The WordArt Shape option (represented by the letters Abc) will allow you to change the geometry of your WordArt if you so desire. There are many different shapes to choose from. The Free Rotate option (represented by a small green circle with a larger arrowed circle going clockwise) will allow you to move the WordArt to anyplace on the slide, or you may rotate it. To rotate the word art, click and hold on the green circles surrounding the WordArt and rotate as you wish. There are two more tools, usually located to the left of the toolbar, in addition to the ones already mentioned. The Insert WordArt, which is the same icon as the one found on the “Paint” toolbar, functions exactly the same as the one found on the “Paint” toolbar. By clicking on this toolbox, you will create a new WordArt that usually centers itself on the slide. The last tool on the toolbar is the Edit Text toolbox. By clicking on this tool, you may edit the text of the current WordArt you have selected.
Inserting New Slides
Now that you are aware of some of the basic tools available to you (others will be presented later in the seminar), you can begin inserting new slides that will makeup your slideshow or presentation. To insert a new slide please click on Insert a New Slide. The slide layouts will appear to the right of your screen again, you may select a slide layout from the right for your new slide. Please select the third slide under the label Text Layouts. (You may have to scroll down to find this layout.)
Customizing Animations 
In PowerPoint, you are given various different options for animating and making your presentations more exciting. You have to access these animations by clicking on Slide Show à Custom Animations. In order to animate an object on your slide (textboxes, WordArt, pictures, etc.) you must select the object to be animated and click the Add Effect box found on the right hand side of the screen. This will bring up various types of effects available for animating your slide. Notice that once you have added an effect, it will show up on the list box found to the right of your screen. When you selected an animation, notice that it automatically previewed the effect. To disable this option, check the Auto Preview box off, which is found at the bottom right hand side of the screen. To preview the effect again, click the Play button found at the bottom right hand side of the screen. In addition to using the wizard on the right to customize your animations, you have more advanced options available to you by double clicking on the effect in the list box. From here you may add a sound to your effect by choosing a sound from the list. You may also add your own sound by scrolling down and clicking Other sound… *Note: the sound must be a .wav file In this same window, you can select what happens after you animate the object by selecting an effect from the list to the right of the label After animation:You may also change the way the text enters or leaves the screen by selecting an effect from the list to the right of the label Animate Text: *Note: you may also select a % of delay between each word or letter of the effect. Once you have checked the objects you wish to animate, the next step is to choose the order and timing of each animation. To change the order of your animation, simply click on the effect, and hit the up or down arrow found at the bottom of your screen that surrounds the label Re-Order. To change the timing of the effect, select the effect in the list that you wish to change the timing of and edit the box Start in wizard on the right of the screen. You may also change the timing by selecting the effect that you wish to change and clicking the down pointing arrow to the right associated with that effect. To start the effect when you click the mouse button, select the Start On Click option. If you want to start the effect simultaneously with the previous effect in the list box, select Start With Previous. Starting an effect after a certain amount of time is a little different. To select the time you wish to wait before the effect occurs, double click on the effect to bring up the advanced options. Now click on the Timing tab near the top of this window. From here, you may select the time to wait before the effect occurs (the delay time), the speed at which the effect is animated, and whether or not you wish the effect to repeat itself after a single iteration.
Slide Transitions 
In addition to animating each slide in PowerPoint, you may also choose to animate transitions between slides. To do this, click on Slide Show a Slide Transition. Please direct your attention at the slide transition box to the right of your screen. To change the type of slide transition, select the type of transition from the list. To change the speed of the transition, click on the Slow, Medium, or Fast option. You may also add a sound to the transition by choosing one from the list located directly below the speed options. You may preview the transition before applying it to your slideshow. To do this, simply click on the play button found at the bottom of the screen. Next, please direct your attention to the Advance Slide label found near the bottom of the Slide Transition box. Here, you may select to advance each slide by the click of the mouse by selecting On mouse click, or you may select to advance each slide after a certain period of time by selecting Automatically after, and inserting the time desired between slide transition. Please now direct your attention to the Sound label found in the lower right corner of the Slide Transition box. You may select a sound to be heard between, or through each slide transition. The sound will be heard once if the Loop until next sound box is not checked, and it will be heard throughout the slide if it is checked. Finally, direct your attention to the button labeled Apply to All Slides found directly above the Play button. If you select this, the type of transition you have customized will be applied to all slides.
Slide Viewer There are three different ways in which you may view your slideshow wile working on it. Please direct your attention to the lower left corner of the main screen above the “paint” toolbar. Here you will see five icons labeled Normal View, Slide Sorter View, and Slide Show. The Normal view is the default view for PowerPoint. In this view setting the outline, the slide, and the notes are all available for you to see in equal proportion. In this view, you may change the size of the view for your outline, your slide, and your notes. To do this, hold the cursor over the border of the slide and outline or the slide and notes until parallel, vertical lines in between two arrows pointing opposite direction appears. Click and hold the mouse button and move the cursor in the direction you want to resize the views. Please direct your attention to the tabs labeled Outline and Slides found near the upper left hand corner of the screen while in Normal View. You may go back and forth between these two views to adjust to your needs. The Outline view gives you the option to see your title, and the Slides view will allow you to see a miniature of your slide. You may at some time want to delete a slide that you no longer wish to have in your presentation. To do this, select the slide in the Outline or the Slides area and press the Backspace or Del key. The second view available to you, Slide Sorter, is much different from the others. In this view, you may see all of your slides at one time, without the notes or the outline. In addition to this, you may also control the slide transition for each slide or for all slides. To do this click on the slide you wish to control the transition for, then click on the Slide Transition toolbox (represented by a small slide with an arrow pointing to the right in the lower left corner) and set up your transition. You may also right click on the slide and then select Slide Transitions… to change the transitions as well.
The Hide Slide tool is available to you if there is a slide that you do not wish to show during your presentation, but wish to keep instead of deleting. There are a few ways to perform this operation. You may select the slide you wish to hide in the Slide Sorter view and click on the Hide Slide toolbox (represented by a slide with a diagonal slash through it on the toolbar). Another way to do this is by right clicking on a slide in the Slide Sorter view and selecting Hide Slide. You may also perform this operation on the slide you are currently viewing by clicking Slide Show Hide Slide. Another tool available to you in the Slide Sorter view is the Rehearse Timings toolbox (represented by a stop clock and a small square in the background). This will allow you to go through each slide while timing it. This will allow you to see how long it takes to go through each slide. You may also save your times and it will automatically go to the next slide after the saved time for each slide. You may also access this feature by clicking Slide Show Rehearse Timings. Another useful tool found in the Slide Sorter view is the Speaker Notes toolbox (represented by two squares, the one in the foreground with lines, the one in the background with a gray square within it). From here you may type notes for each slide by clicking on the toolbox. This is the same as entering notes for a slide as in the other views. The last view that is available to you in PowerPoint is the Slide Show view. This will allow you to view your slide show. By clicking on this icon, the slideshow will begin the slideshow (usually at the slide you have currently selected).
Setting up a Show 
There are a few different options for the way your slideshow will be set up. To customize these options click on Slide Show Set Up Show… Please direct your attention to the label Show Type. There are three different ways in which your slideshow can be presented. If you choose Presented by a speaker (full screen), this will go through each slide and allow the presenter have an interactive slideshow that allows you to manually advance the slides (which is default for each slide unless changed in Slide Transitions), and use the interactive tools while viewing your show (which will be discussed shortly). If you choose Browsed by an Individual (window), this will present your slideshow in a windowed mode. The interactive tools available in the speaker version will be disabled here. *Note: if you did not set the Slide Transitions to advance after a certain time, you must right click during the slide and select Advance or Reverse to go through the slides. If you choose Browsed at kiosk (full screen), the slideshow will loop until the user presses the escape key. The escape key is the only input that the slideshow will receive; any interaction is disabled. *Note: if you did not set the Slide Transitions to advance after a certain time, the slideshow will be stuck on that slide. Please direct your attention to the four check boxes underneath the options just discussed. Depending on the options you chose before, some or all of these check box options will be available to you. The first box, Loop continuously until ‘Esc’, will loop the slideshow until the presenter selects End Show or the Esc key. The second box, Show without narration, will go through the slideshow without any of the narrations you have set for any slides (which will be discussed later). The third box, Show without animation, will go through the slideshow without any of the custom animations you have previously set. The last box, Show Scrollbar is available only in the individual windowed mode. This simply hides or shows the scrollbar throughout the slideshow. Please direct your attention to the bottom left corner of the Set Up Show box. Here you will see the label Pen Color. This will select the color of the pen that can be utilized in the speaker full screen show. Using the Set Up Show tool will also allow you to show certain slides (i.e. 2-5) if you want to show only part of your presentation. To do this, click on the From option found in the upper right corner of the Set Up Show box under the label Slides.
The Slideshow
 In order to start your slideshow, please click on either the View Show icon found in the lower left corner of PowerPoint (previously discussed), or click Slide Show à View Show; this will start the slideshow. In order to advance each slide, you may simply click the left mouse button or press the Enter key. If you previously selected a time for the slide transition or animation, you will need to wait until the time is reached before the event will take place. If you are user a projector, you might be able to use buttons on the remote to advance each slide; this will differ from place to place. To go to a previous slide, hit the Backspace key. When the slideshow starts, there are various options available to the presenter if the Presented by speaker (full screen) (the default) option was selected in Set Up Show. Please direct your attention to the first three options available: Next, Previous, and Go. With the Next and Previous tools, you may advance to the next slide or go to the previous slide without waiting. The Go command will give you the option to advance to any slide within the presentation Another useful tool when you right click during the presentation is the Pointers tool. You will be given the option of using Automatic, Hidden, Arrow, or Pen style pointers. If you select Automatic, the slides will advance with the left mouse click. This is the default option. After 5-10 seconds, the arrow will hide itself. If you select Hidden the cursor will be hidden throughout the presentation. You may right click at any time to bring up options to show the pointer if you so desire. Left clicking after this option is selected will not advance the slideshow. If you select the Arrow option, the arrow cursor will appear always. If you click while this option is selected, your slides will not advance as they did when Automatic was selected. If you select the Pen option, you can draw on your slideshow while presenting. These drawings will not be saved and will be erased when you advance to the next slide, or go back to the previous slide. You may select a color when selecting the Pen pointer; otherwise the default color (found in Set Up Show) will be the color of the drawings. The last option available is the End Show option. To end your show at any time, you may right click and select End Show, or you may simply hit the ESC key.
Inserting Pictures and Clipart  Now that you have the basic feel for how PowerPoint operates, you are ready to learn some more advanced features of the program. Please click Insert a New Slide, and then select a slide with a picture of a man on it found in Other Layouts near the bottom of the list of layouts. Once this slide has opened, please click on the icon of the man standing in the box that says Double Click to Add Clipart. This will bring up a new window that will allow you to select from some of the clipart that comes with PowerPoint. Depending on the type of install done on the computer, you may need to have the Microsoft Office CD in order to use this feature. To add a picture from clipart, browse until you find the picture you want to add. You may use the Search text field to help you find the clip you would like to add. To insert the clip, simply double click on the picture and PowerPoint will add it to your slideshow. Please direct your attention to the button at the bottom of the Clip Art box called Import Clips; this will allow you to add your own clips. The clip you wish to add will be added to the window you are currently browsing in. Double click on the clip art you have added. To insert a picture from a file, simply click Insert Picture From File. You may then browse Windows to find the picture you wish to add. Pictures and clipart become objects just like textboxes are. You may move them about the slide, resize them, and animate them just like textboxes. There are more shapes and designs that you may add to your slideshow. To insert these, click Insert Picture Auto Shapes. A toolbar will appear once you select Auto Shapes. You may experiment with these shapes while creating your slideshow until you find what you need. Please note that all of these shapes can be edited with the “paint” toolbar, which was previously discussed.
- In addition to inserting pictures, you may also copy any picture (or chart or tables from Excel or Word for that matter) and paste it to your slide.
Movies and Sounds 
During your presentation, you may want to add sounds or movies to your slideshow. To do this, click Insert Movie and Sounds. From here you may select Sounds from File or Movies from File to insert your own movie or sound. You may also select Movies from Clip Organizer or Sounds from Clip Organizer if they are installed with PowerPoint, or you have the Microsoft Office CD. *Please note: some movies are objects just like pictures and textboxes; others are more like Sound and Music files. When inserting a sound or movie into your slideshow, PowerPoint will prompt the presenter if they wish the sound to play automatically. Most often you select yes. If you select yes, it will play automatically (in the order listed in Custom Animations) when the slide appears. If you select no, the sound or music will play when you click on the small blue speaker that appears. If it is a movie, the movie will be played automatically or the beginning screen will be shown if you select no; click on the movie to begin the movie. Please insert a sound clip from the organizer now. Sounds, movies, and music are different from textboxes and pictures. They have different options available in Custom Animation. Please click Slide Show Custom Animation. Double click on the media object found in the list to the right of your screen. You can make the sound Start Playing From Beginning, or for an amount of time by entering the time in the box to the right of From Time. Next you will see three more options after the aforementioned options labeled Stop Playing: On click, After current slide or After [ x ] slides. If you select On click, the sound, music, or movie will stop once you have clicked past the effect in the order of effects. If you select After current slide, the movie or sound will stop playing after you advance the slide. If you select After [ x ] slides the sound or movie will continue playing for how many slides you wish. If you wish it to play throughout the whole slide show, enter the number of slides left in your slideshow. Notice that if you have inserted a sound or music, a little blue speaker appears on the slide. If you do not wish see this blue speaker you may resize it to a size so small that no one notices, or you may drag it off the slide altogether. Either way will not affect the way the sound plays. You also have the option to play an audio CD. This operates much in the same way that the sound media operates as previously discussed. To do this click Insert Movies and Sounds Play CD Audio Track. A new window with options will appear. If you wish your selection to loop and repeat until the slideshow is stopped, check the first checkbox labeled Loop until stopped. In the middle of the window you may select the starting track (at a certain time in the track if you so desire) and the ending track. This will play the audio found on the CD in the CD player. The other sound option that you can add to your slide show is a recording. If you have a microphone, you may use this to record your own sound. To do this click Insert Movies and Sounds Record Sound.
Once you have finished recording, the recorded sound will appear as a regular sound file and operates in exactly the same way.Charts  Usually a preset chart will appear when Charts is first selected. Please direct your attention to the spreadsheet that appears. In the spreadsheet, you may add or delete more “areas” for your chart. To add pieces to your chart, simply double click on an unused letter or number (depending on your chart). To delete a piece, click on the row number or column letter and hit the backspace or delete key. Enter in the information you wish the chart to convey. Please direct your attention to the chart graph now. You may customize this area in many different ways. We will discuss how to change font and colors first. To change the color of the whole chart area, double click in the space surrounding the chart. A new window that allows you to choose the color and boarders will automatically appear. To change the font of the chart, click on the Font tab found towards the top of the window. Fonts and colors are changed much like textboxes. To change the color and fonts of the legend, simply double click on the legend and the same options that were just discussed will appear. A new tab also appears at the top of the window labeled Placement. If you select any of the options under this tab, PowerPoint will automatically place the legend to a preset area. If you wish to move the legend yourself, click and hold on the legend and drag it to where you wish it to be seen. For some charts you may change the immediate background of the chart. To do this simply double click near the chart and a familiar box that will allow you to change color and border-style will appear. To change the color and data labels on each individual piece of the chart, simply double click on the piece of the chart you wish to change. A series of options unique to each chart will appear in addition to the option to change the color and style of your chart pieces. To change the type of chart you wish to use, click in the open space around the chart, right click, and then click Chart Type. There are many different types of charts from which you may choose. You will need to experiment with each chart to find the type that best suits your needs. To change additional options that are unique to each chart, click in the open space around the chart, right click, and then click Chart Options. The options available to you here will be different for each chart; you will need to experiment with each chart to discover these options. Some of the main ones found here are titles and data labels for your chart.
Tables 
Hyperlinks Another useful tool found in PowerPoint is the ability to hyperlink text, or images to other web pages or other slides within your slideshow. To use the hyperlink, simply click on text or object during your presentation and PowerPoint will link you to the desired link.
To hyperlink an object, you must first select the object or highlight the text that you wish to hyperlink and select Insert Hyperlink. A new window with many options will appear. Please direct your attention to the left of this window. The default tab is to hyperlink to an Existing File or Web Page. Let’s discuss how to link to an existing file or web page before discussing the other options. At the top of the window you’ll see a textbox that allows you to enter the Text to display. This will be the text that you see in your PowerPoint slide. Directly underneath the aforementioned textbox is another textbox that will allow you to enter the file or web page that you wish to hyperlink to. You may enter any URL or file directory in this box or use the window directly beneath the textbox to search for a URL or file to which you would like hyperlink. Please redirect your attention to the left hand side of the hyperlink window and select the icon that is labeled Place in this Document. This option will allow you to hyperlink to any slide found within your slideshow. To link the selected text or object to the slide in your slideshow, simply browse through the slides that now appear and select the slide to which you would like to hyperlink. You may also hyperlink to a new document or an email address by clicking on the Create New Document or Email Addresses respectively. Hyper linking to an email address will bring up the default mailbox for the computer.
