Creating

A non-linear action makes the movement from one slide to another within the PowerPoint non- sequential.

You can assign a “hyperlink” to an image or text, and when you click on it, you will be re-directed to another slide in the Power Point.

ExampleClick here to learn how to add hyperlinks

Email me with any questions cbrown@mnsd.org

To add a hyperlink… Go to “Insert” “Hyperlink”

The “Insert Hyperlink” box will appear On the left, select “Link to” Place in This

Document Select the slide from the “Slide Titles” and

click OK.

When re-directed to the new slide, you should insert a “button” on the bottom right corner that will take you back to the original slide. You can use any type of clip art or image as your

“button”.

Follow the procedure, as discussed on the previous slide.

In the corner of this slide, I have “modeled” the button feature. Click on it to return to the first slide we looked at on this topic.
