Using Hyperlinks in a Presentation

133

Jumping to a Particular Slide

If you want to be able to move through your presentation in a nonlinear path, or if you
want viewers to choose their own paths through your presentation (for example, if the
slideshow is presented in a kiosk), you can use hyperlinks to jump to any slide in your
Keynote document.

To add a hyperlink that jumps to a particular slide:

1

Select the text or object that you want to turn into a hyperlink.

2

Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Hyperlink inspector button, and then select

“Enable as a hyperlink.”

3

Choose Slide from the Link To pop-up menu.

4

Select the option that describes the slide you want to display (next, previous, first, last,

last viewed, or a slide number).

You can use hyperlinks to control navigation during a slideshow. See “Creating Self-
Playing Presentations”
on page 200.

Creating a “Stop Slideshow” Button Within Your Slideshow

If you want to be able to stop a slideshow by clicking a button or text within the
slideshow, create a hyperlink that stops the slideshow.

To add a hyperlink that stops a slideshow:

1

Select the object or text that you want to use to trigger stopping the slideshow.

2

Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Hyperlink inspector button, and then select

“Enable as a hyperlink.”

3

Choose Exit Slideshow from the Link To pop-up menu.

Opening Another Keynote Slideshow During Your Presentation

Add a hyperlink that opens another Keynote file.

To add a hyperlink that opens another Keynote document:

1

Select the text or object that you want to turn into a hyperlink.

2

Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Hyperlink inspector button, and then select

“Enable as a hyperlink.”

3

Choose Keynote Slideshow from the Link To pop-up menu.

4

Navigate to the file, and click Open.

5

If you want to change text that appears as the hyperlink in the document, type new

text in the Display field.

When you click a link to another Keynote document, the new slideshow begins playing
from the first slide.
