 Inserting hyperlinks

Adding hyperlinks to your presentation can help readers quickly access contact information or information from the Internet. Additionally, hyperlinks in the form of action buttons are useful for navigating your slide show. To use hyperlinks, you'll need to know how to insert hyperlinks using text and objects, as well as how to insert action buttons.

  About hyperlinks

Hyperlinks have two basic parts: the address of the webpage, email address, or other location they are linking to; and the display text, which can also be a picture or shape. For example, the address could be http://www.youtube.com and the display text could be YouTube. In some cases, the display text might be the same as the address. When you're creating a hyperlink in PowerPoint, you'll be able to choose both the address and the display text or image.

Removing Backgrounds Using PowerPoint

We will take a presentation we have and insert any picture right in it.


After inserting the picture, we will go to the Format Picture tab and click on Remove Background.


Notice that PowerPoint makes a good job depending on the picture to recognize the background and paint it in purple.


If your image, like ours, needs a little more editing, you can click on Mark Areas to Remove and select the areas that are still left to being removed in your picture.


When you have finally ended editing your picture, just click on Keep changes and you will notice the background will be entirely removed.


You can now even select a different background for your picture.


Do you think this will come up handy? This is not as professional as editing them with Photoshop, but for a presentation, this could do the trick.
