Question & Answer

[Guest]

How do you make a presentation were you can click on a text box for example
and it takes you to a certain slide?

 

[Guest]

Two suggestions for you:

One - No code
Insert an obect such as an auto shape or a square or a circle. Format it
the way you want it. Right click the object and select action settings. On
the Mouse Click tab select Hyperlink To then select Slide ... When the box
pops up, select the slide you want to to goto when you click the object.
When you are in presentation mode, this will take you to that slide.

Two - Some Code
Insert a command button on a slide. Go to the code behind the button and
enter the following:

activepresentation.Slides(1).Select

Where the number 1 represents the slide you want to activate. When this
code is run it will activate the slide specified.

Hope this helps.

If you are looking for simply jumping from slide to slide, then sgv2000's
first suggestion is what you want. If you want to do more and are up to
try coding, you might look at some of the examples at my site:
