Inserting a Hyperlink

PowerPoint also allows you to add hyperlinks to your slides to make them more interactive. A hyperlink can link to a web site which provides more information for your presentation.

To Insert a Hyperlink:

• Select the text in your document that you want to be a hyperlink. For example, www.gcflearnfree.org or Free Computer and Career Classes.
• Click the Hyperlink button on the Standard Toolbar.

(If this button does not show, you may want to add it to your toolbar by clicking on the down-pointing arrow at the end of the bar to display Toolbar Options. Click on Insert Hyperlink to add the button to your toolbar.

• Click the Existing File or Web Page button.

• Type any text that you want to display. For example: Free Computer and Career Classes. This type will display instead of the web address.
• Click OK.

To make sure that the hyperlink works, click the Slide Show button and click on the link on the slide.
