Function Buttons

It was a pleasure to receive your Newsletter for the first time and it seems to be very interesting.

I’d like to know if you can help me.


I’ve to prepare a Powerpoint Presentation (graphics, …) but I would like to go a step further.

I know it is possible to use the function "Buttons" to add a slide giving all the details of the principal slide.

I thank you in advance.

Yes this is quite a common use.

First of all start with a button. I usally just add in a box and when the box is selected type in the words "More information"

You then build the slide with more information at the end of the presentation

On your slide just click on the button and Select
Slide Show > Action Settings
Select Mouse Click > Hyperlink To > Slide.. and select the slide that you want to link to
I usually find it useful to add a slide on the detailed information slide that can link you back to the main slide. To demonstrate this I have made a simple presentation that shows how it can work

I hope that this helps. If you need more information please drop me a line

Thank you very much. But Is it possible to add a button line by line ?
For Ex. :
Africa, Europe, US one the principal slide and then a button near Africa with a detailed slide with population, regions, …
And then coming back to the principal slide, I click on the button near Europe , I then arrive on the detailed slide explaining Europe, …
Is it easy to do ?

Yes – it just works in the same way.

You will just need to build additional buttons to additional pages at the back.

You just build a button at the end of the line – although a simpler way would be to hyperlink the text. For example you could hyperlink the Word "Africa" using the same procedure to a page containing all of the information on Africa.

This is the same procedure that many people use to build menus in PowerPoint

I have updated the PowerPoint slide to gibe you an example of how it can work.
