PowerPoint makes it easy to do all sorts of things through the use of actions buttons. You simply add an action button to a presentation. Then, you define how to use this button during the slide show. Consider the following options:

• Jump from one presentation to another without closing the first one
• Jump to a slide not contained in order
• Start a movie
• Go to an Internet address

To jump to an Internet address from a PowerPoint presentation

This example reveals how easy it is to add a jump to an Internet site to a PowerPoint presentation.

2. Navigate to the slide to which you want to add the action button.
