Presentation Link question

[voodoochile]

I have a presentation to do in a month or so.

I have completed all my furniture renderings for my project but want to
present it in a specific way.

I have rendered various scenes of a chair with different finishes and
materials.

My idea is that I want to link an icon to a picture.

For example I want to be able to click on the stainless steel finish icon
(within the presentation) and it show the rendered model on screen.
Then if I want to click on the leather upholstery icon then it shows the
upholstery picture with stainless steel.

I realise i need many rendered images to cover the various configurations
but does anyone know how I can do this.

Just started to tinker with embedded links and hyperlink but no success as
yet.

Anyone help?

To make designing, and updating, the presentation easier I would probably go
the route of having the links go to specific pages vs. triggers that change
the image on one slide. The process would be something like this:
- Design master page with all linking icons, title and text boxes formatted
as needed
- Slide 1, add title and insert image 1 (ie. leather)
- Duplicate slide 1 so everything is in the exact same position. Delete the
leather chair and insert image 2 (ie. stainless steel).
- Continue the process until all variations have been created for that item
- Go back to Master Slide and assign Action Settings to each icon, that tell
it to go to slide #___ when clicked.

Hopefully that is a start.

Troy gave you a good solution. Another solution would be to use frames.
Create a web page using frames and then, when you click on the icons, the
changed images appear on the same page. Keep in mind, you still need to
create these images just as you would create the different slides in
PowerPoint. However, a web page design would be more efficient in that load
times would be shorter and the user can stay on the same page instead of
going back and forth between slides or waiting for linked slides to load.

Using PowerPoint for this type of presentation can result in considerably
long load times. If you and the users (viewers of your PowerPoint
presentation) all have current/fast computers, this won't be a problem. If
load times and network usage are a factor, you might want to create a hypbrid
presentation, using PowerPoint and an html coded web page (using frames).
Then, all you need to do is embed the web page object into your presentation.
The result will be more streamline, user-friendly and web savvy, enabling
you to use email and internet marketing to get more and retain current
customers!

Let me know if you need futher help with this .
