PowerPoint makes it easy to do all sorts of things through the use of action 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
• Insert a sound
• Go to an Internet address
