I am in the process of setting up a presentation that will have Adobe saved
files that need to be explained piece by piece. So, I need to know how to
put certain parts of the document in boxes (surrounding the text) and have
explainations of the text at the bottom of the screen. This process would
continue through the entire document and have arrows that take the reader
forward and backward through the information. It would be great if it is
possible to click on a part of the document and the information appear for
that section. Any help is greatly appreciated. Most educational tutorials
follow this format but I cannot figure out how it is set up in Powerpoint.
Thanks.

If I understand what you're after, this shouldn't be too difficult.

Start by doing this:

Draw a rectangle to surround the text you want to link. Give it an outline but
no fill (this may need to change later, depending on your PPT version).

Right click the box, choose Action Setting and apply a Link To setting that
takes the user to an identical slide that has the explanatory text added. Put
a "Return to previously viewed slide" link on that slide to return the user to
the starting point.

Experiment with that a bit, let us know how you get on.
