Link or Hyperlink to Excel File in Powerpoint

S

What is the easiest way to link to another file on a page of my presentation.
I want an Excel spreadsheet to pull up when a picture is clicked on at the
end of my presentation and I can't seem to activate it to do that. What am I
doing wrong? I then need to email this presentation to someone and am
wondering if the link will still be there on their end.

First, move the Excel file to the same folder as the PowerPoint. Then,
select the picture and go to the Insert menu and choose Hyperlink. Browse
to the file. The link should work and remain as long as you email the
PowerPoint and the Excel file together. If you have trouble emailing, you
might use the free tool PFC Express
