Link to a Website Address

Creating links that will direct you to an internet website in your presentation will allow user to give more information about specific matter. If you are presenting a note on the Internet Email providers and wish to link to the Internet Email providers websites, you can link to those sites directly from your presentation.
To create a link in PowerPoint you must first create some form of anchor on your slide. An anchor is the actual "spot" on your slide that will be the link. These anchors can be textual or graphical. We explain how to use both forms below:-

Text as Hyperlink :: Take Hyperlink dialog box from “Insert” à ”Hyperlink”. In the dialog box you will find ‘Text to display’ box, in that we need to write the specified text (Anchor Text). In the box titled "Type the file or Web page name:" It is in this box that you will actually create the link. We could have put any web page we wanted in this box.

Example:
Anchor Text – PowerPoint to Flash Converter
Link – http://www.powerflashpoint.com
In the presentation this look like – PowerPoint to Flash Converter    (When we click on this text it directs to the website http://www.powerflashpoint.com)

Image as Hyperlink :: You are not limited to having text be your link anchor. To create a link to a web page using an image you will first need to insert an image in the presentation. Once the image is placed on your slide you need to highlight it by clicking once on the image, then choose "Insert" à "Hyperlink" to see the same hyperlink dialog box that is shown above. This image will now act as your link anchor on your PowerPoint slide.
