Adding an Action to a Slide

Sometimes, in the middle of a presentation, you might want to jump to a different part of the presentation, run a different program as a demonstration, open a file, or even have a little sound clip added. You can do this by assigning an action to the text or to some other item in your presentation.

Assign an Action

  1. Select the item you want to use to trigger the action.

  2. On the Insert tab, click the Action button to display the Action Settings dialog box.

  3. If you want the action to occur when you click the item, on the Mouse Click tab, select the type of action and then the action itself.

  4. Select this check box if you want a sound to play when the item is clicked, and then select the sound.

  5. Select this check box if you want the item to be animated when you click it.

  6. If you want the action to occur when you move the mouse pointer over the item rather than clicking it, make your settings on the Mouse Over tab.

  7. Click OK, and run your slide presentation to make sure the action you want occurs when you click the mouse or move the mouse over the item.

Tip

The Run Macro option is available only if your presentation contains at least one macro. The Object Action is available only if you’ve selected an OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) object, such as an Excel workbook, that was inserted by using the Object button on the Insert tab.
