Adding Hyperlinks in PowerPoint Presentations: Step by Step Guide

Inserting Hyperlinks in PowerPoint Presentations: A Step by Step Guide

Adding hyperlinks to your PowerPoint presentation can significantly enhance its functionality and usability. Here's how you can do it step by step:

Creating Hyperlinks from Text

1. Select the text that you want to make into a hyperlink.
2. Click on the 'Insert' tab in the top menu bar.
3. In the 'Links' group, click on 'Hyperlink'. This will open the 'Insert Hyperlink' dialog box.
4. In the 'Address' field of the dialog box, enter or paste the URL that you want to link to.
5. Choose whether you want this hyperlink to appear with underline formatting by checking the 'Underline hyperlinked text' option.
6. If desired, choose whether you would like the hyperlink to be displayed as a button rather than text by clicking on 'Format as Button'.
7. Press OK to insert the hyperlink.

Creating Hyperlinks Directly

If you don't have any text selected, you can still create a hyperlink directly:

1. Click where you want the hyperlink to appear.
2. Go to the 'Insert' tab and select 'Link' within the Links group.
3. Type or paste the web address you want to link to into the dialog box that appears, and click 'OK' when finished.

Remember to preview your presentation before sharing it to ensure all the hyperlinks work correctly.
