SUMMARY

Creating hotspots in presentations using PowerPoint or OpenOffice is achievable through hyperlinking. In OpenOffice, users can insert a hyperlink by navigating to Insert -> Hyperlink -> Document, then selecting the target slide from the provided list. This method allows presenters to branch off to specific slides for detailed explanations and return seamlessly to the original slide. The process is analogous in Microsoft Office, ensuring a consistent experience across both platforms.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with OpenOffice and Microsoft PowerPoint interfaces
  • Basic understanding of hyperlink functionality in presentation software
  • Knowledge of slide navigation techniques in presentations
  • Experience with creating and managing slide content
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore advanced hyperlinking techniques in OpenOffice Impress
  • Learn about interactive features in Microsoft PowerPoint presentations
  • Research best practices for effective presentation branching
  • Investigate tools for enhancing audience engagement during presentations
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for educators, trainers, and presenters looking to enhance their presentation interactivity and audience engagement through effective use of hotspots and hyperlinks.

Hi all,
Is there a way to have "hotspots" in a powerpoint/openoffice presentation document? I'm making a presentation and there are several areas where people might ask questions about a specific point and I would like to start a new line of slides, and then go back to where it branched off after I've finished explaining the point. Thanks for your help

Yes this is possible.

For Openoffice:

Insert-> Hyperlink-> Document

Then under "target in document", click on the icon next to the white field. It will give you a list of all your slides. Once you pick one, just click apply.

It should be similar in MS Office.
 
Thanks, that's what I'm looking for.
