Working with hyperlinks. I'd like to define a hyperlink as a link or a portal or a gateway or a door to another dimension and I don't mean, you know, the third dimension or fourth dimension. I'm actually talking about to another document and that's what makes the world-wide web go around. Now, before we can insert a hyperlink, we actually need to be in our insert tab and in the text box. Notice now that the hyperlink command is now live or colored. Go ahead and click that once and let's take a look at some of the things we can link to here in this left column. We could link to an existing file or web page and it's going to give us a list here of different PowerPoint presentations or documents that we can link to. click OK and notice what it does is it inserts the text or the file name for that link. Go ahead and click it and notice it does take me to the actual PowerPoint presentation, bullets and numbering, one of the ones we worked with a little earlier. Alright, now let me get back here and let's take a look at some of the other links that we can create and delete that. Ok, with hyperlinks again, we can, let me get back out to the desktop here and let's insert the actual song, the Tiger Rag, that these guys played. click OK. Now, notice what happens here is it inserts that link again, but since it is out on the desktop, it's not in the same directory as this PowerPoint presentation. It's going to show us the full path to that file. In other words, where this file's located on the desktop. Well, that's rather ugly so what we're going to do is do that again and notice up here it shows text to display. We can type in anything we want here. In this case I'm just going to get rid of the proceeding folders or path to that. Go ahead and click it and it's going to play here and it's going to launch Windows Media Player on my operating system. Now, you're not going to hear it because I'm recording and it just conflicts with my voice. But that's how that works there. Now, some of the other things we can do is link to another place within our current document. So these are different slides that we have. We can also create a new document or go to email address. Now, why would you want to go to an email address? Well, most of the time you don't if you're giving a presentation in front of an audience. They're going to be sitting at their tables or desks and not have access to the email. So clicking it doesn't really do anything. Where you'd want to use an email address as a link or hyperlink is if you're leaving your presentation as, you know, what we call a leave behind. Somebody's going to actually run this on their own computer, perhaps a sales presentation or some form of an electronic brochure and you can go ahead and create an email address link for them to click that will launch their email program, whether it's Microsoft Outlook, Google Mail, whatever they have working as their default email system, it will go ahead and launch that. Just a quick preview of some of the things you can do with adding hyperlinks to your presentation.
