Invisible action button

[Guest]

I have been given a presentation. In order to change information on some of
the slides I have to "peel back" an invisible action button, and then replace
it in order for the action (going to a specific slide) to take place. This
"onion skin" covers the whole slide. I am trying to make another such onion
skin for a presentation but can't figure out how to do so. Please help?

My guess is that the onion skin has been created by adding an autoshape over
the top of the entire slide, giving it a hyperlink to the place desired,
then change it to have no line and a fill that is 98% transparent. Make sure
that after you add it, you right click it and use Order--> Bring to Front to
make sure it is on top of everything else on the slide. This way the item
will be able to be clicked, but will not show.

What Kathy said.

And also:

Pressing TAB selects each shape on the slide in order (back to front).
Shift+Tab reverses the order so if you first make sure that nothing is selected,
you can press Shift+Tab to select the topmost item (very likely your onionskin).

Once it's selected, you can nudge it out of the way with arrow keys and do your
editing; re-select it the same way then nudge it back into place.

Our free PPTools Starter Set has a nice little tool that picks up and remembers
the size/position of any selected shape; you could use it to pick up the
original position before moving the onionskin, then "hammer" it back into place
later with a single button click.
