PowerPoint 2010: Action Buttons

http://www.GCFLearnFree.org

In addition to hyperlinks, another tool you can use to connect to a web page, file, email address, or slide is called an action button. Action buttons are built-in button shapes that you can add to a presentation and set to link to another slide, play a sound, or perform some other action. When someone clicks or moves over the button, the selected action will occur. Action buttons can do many of the same things as hyperlinks. Their easy-to-understand style makes them especially useful for self-running presentations at booths and kiosks.

You can insert action buttons on one slide at a time, or you can insert an action button that will show up on every slide. The second option can be useful if you want every slide to link back to a specific slide, like the title page or table of contents.

Watch the video to learn how to insert action buttons.
