navigation in power point (like that of a website)

[rhu]

if slide number 1 is my master slide and i want to link it to slide 10 by
clicking on an tem on slide 1, open slide 10 & show slide 10 to the audience
and return to slide 1, then click on another item on page 1 which leads me to
page 5 and then i can return to slide 1.

basicaly use slide 1 as a menu bar to be able to avgate to other partsof the
presentation and return to slide 1 verytime.

The way I would do that is by putting a rectangle or oval object over the
"Home" image on your web site graphic and set the action setting to go back
to the first slide. Once set, change the fill color and line color to
"None". If your web pages are set up correctly, it should be easy to put
these "hidden" autoshapes over the designed link buttons to make it work.

Yes, this is very easy to do in PowerPoint. You might check out
"Hyperlinks" and "Action Buttons" at:

I wrote this site a few years for a guest lecture in a class, and I was
using PowerPoint 2000 so if you have a different version, some of the
details might be different, but the basic idea is the same.

Since you mentioned linking from an item, I'm guessing you might want to
link from a picture. Keep in mind that all objects (buttons, pictures,
drawn shapes) can have the same hyperlink or action settings as action
buttons.
