Hyperlinking text and objects
Long, complicated URLs can make slides look messy. If you want to provide a link to an external website in your presentation whilst keeping your slide looking slick and professional, you need to know how to hyperlink text!
Highlight the text that you want to turn into a hyperlink — one or two words is best. Right click the text and scroll down to Link. This will bring up a new dialog box, in which you can paste the link of your chosen website. Click Apply, and you’re done!
Now, whenever you click that link (even in Slideshow mode) a new browser tab will launch, directing you to the web page. You don’t have to link to just web pages; you can link to other Google Docs and Sheets too. This same method of linking works on shapes, images and any other kind of Slides object.
You may need to link between different saudi arabia mobile number list sections of a presentation, or easily navigate back to an agenda slide. To do this, highlight the text or select the object that you want to act as the hyperlink, right click it and scroll down to Link. Be aware not all objects have this option when right clicking! You can add a link to these objects by using the keyboard shortcut: CTRL + K. In the dialog box, you should see a drop down at the bottom with a button that says Slides in this presentation. Click this to reveal a choice of Slides in your deck. Select the one you wish to hyperlink to and hit Apply.
