How do I create a hyperlink within a Powerpoint slide?

I am admitted newbie with Captivate (in fact, I am using the 30-day trial).  I have a .ppt presentation that has existing hyperlinks to outside websites.  Just clicking on the links within Captivate does not seem to work.  I read in a forum where I can create a click box (or a button) and use that to go to the desired URL.  That works fine, but I have a problem when the slide reaches the end of it's default time (e.g. 3 seconds).  At that point the "URL" clickbox no longer works, and clicking on the slide simply continues to the next slide.
What I want is to have the student have the option to click on the link if they want to, or to click anywhere else on the slide to continue on to the next slide...at any point in the slide's timing.  Is this possible?
Many thanks.
Richard

Hi,
This is possible. If you observe the timeline, you will see a clickbox. This is used to navigate to next slide when user clicks anywhere on the slide.
Similarly you can insert one more click box (shift-ctrl-k) and place it on top of the hyperlink text. In timeline, this clickbox should be at the top. We call it "top in the z-order". Configure this clickbox to open a hyperlink as a new webpage.
Also make both the clickboxes start at same time position. See the sample image below where timeline shows two clickboxes starting at same position.
Hope this helps.

    Hi there
    It's unfortunate that you missed the links we tried to put where you would find them before you even posted. Because if you had read through them, it would have saved you from having to post your question as it is answered there.
    Even though you missed the links, I'd heartily encourage you to read through them. Especially the Frequently Encountered Issues link, as it will also address some issues you will likely encounter with linking.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How do I Create a Hyperlink to other text within same email?

    I want to use Mail to send out Newsletters.
    Content section would contain hyperlinked text to each section (or Heading in PC world) below.
    How do I create a hyperlink to text within the same email?
    It's not hard to do in the PC world, how about the Mac world?
    I bought the book "Mac OS X 10.5 (ISBN: 978-0-321-50263-6) and it does not help with this matter but I've also asked the question at www.ExplainMyBook.com because I thought the book "Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard" might help me out.

    not possible AFAIK. Mail html capabilities are pretty rudimentary and this is one of the things it can't do. You might be able to achieve it if you create an html file with such internal anchors in a some html editor, then open that file in safari and embed it into an outgoing email from there. i couldn't make it to work though when I tried.
    You should probably stick with a different email client if you want things like that. I know Thunderbird can do it for example.

  • How do I create a hyperlink on a Numbers document on the iPad?

    Apparently Pages supports creating hyperlinks but Numbers does not? Any particular reason for this?
    Note: I need to create a hyperlink within a cell (just as you would cmd-k in Excel). Not interested in making tables or text bubbles.

    imobl, Thank you for your response.
    I beg to differ. My question has not been answered.
    Further clarification:
    A hyperlink may exist on its own, for example:
    http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110208011527AAgCu2m
    Or it may be embedded, as in this example.

    Regarding points. I am fully aware of how they are awarded, and will gladly award points as merited. Encouraging accuracy, or at very least a 'think twice before hitting send,' in posters should by no means discourage bona fide posters. Accountability beyond the options of correct/helpful/like would not be a bad thing.

  • How do I create a hyperlink to another file?

    How can I create a hyperlink to another file on my Mac?

    Do you really mean "Hyperlink" as in a web page link to your file?
    Or do you want a Mac OS X Alias icon placed in a different folder or on your desktop to a file?  Hold Command-Option keys while dragging the file to a new folder, will create an Alias.
    Or perhaps a Unix Symbolic Link (similar to a Mac OS X Alias, only different).  This is done from a Terminal session using "ln -s /path/to/your/file /path/to/folder/where/symlink/to/be/placed"

    Dick --
    I ran into the same hyperlink issue with some of my PDF documents that were signed, precluding any changes. After exhausting avenues in Acrobat, on a whim I typed an updated path in Word, made it a hyperlink, then copied the link and pasted it into a sticky note. Wonder of wonders, it worked. Who'd have thought Word is actually good for something other than writing letters?

    The most primitive way is to generate a .HTML file.
    Type your HTML codes (Using string constant) and save it using "Write Chars To File.vi" using a filename with extension .html

  • How do you create a 800 x 200 pixell slide show with Photoshop Elements 8?

    I have a banner for a web page that measures 800 x 200 pixels. I would like to create a slide show in the whole volume but I have been unable to discover where to change the standard size of the slide show window to 800x200 in Elements 8. Can anyone help?
    Al

    Many thanks for your reply. I edited a series of photographs to 800x200 as
    you described and then attempted to create a slideshow in Slideshow editor.
    I get a good horizontal fit in the slide frame but there are black bars top
    and bottom since the frame is more than 200 pix high. My question really is
    how do I create a 800x200 slide frame that the edited photographs will fit.
    Subject: How do you create a 800 x 200 pixell slide
    show with Photoshop Elements 8?
    In the slideshow editor interface click once on your image in the main
    window - you will see a bounding box appear together with editing options.
    Click on the More Editing button and when your image opens in full edit
    select the crop tool.
    Set width to 800 px and height to 200 px and resolution to 72
    Drag out your crop rectangle and move your image to the position you want -
    this avoids image distortion but you will sacrifice parts of the original to
    create a banner.
    Press Ctrl=S to save and check version set to save an edit without affecting
    the original.
    Press Ctrl+W to close and your cropped image should automatically pop up in
    the slideshow editor.

  • How do I create a hyperlink to a specific section of a flash website?

    Ok, I have no experience coding in flash, I just want to
    create links to specific parts of a flash website (website that
    were created by other people, not that I am building). In other
    words, I just want to create the hyperlink that will open a certain
    section of the website - I'm not developing the site and I don't
    want to create links inside the site. Is there any way to do this?
    For example:
    http://www.lucasarts.com/games/fracture/
    is the flash site I want to link to. Wherever I navigate in
    the site, the address never changes in my browser. But I know it is
    possible to get a URL to a specific flash page, because I have seen
    some of the web admins post them.
    For example:
    http://www.lucasarts.com/games/fracture/?section=2&sub=5
    which opens a very specific section of the site. So is there
    anyway for me, an average computer user with no experience in flash
    coding, to get a hyperlink to open a certain section of a flash
    site, or at the least get my browser to display the specific URL
    (that is, the "?section=2&sub=5" part of the address). I use
    firefox, but am willing to try anything or any browser at this
    point.
    Thanks!

    My Flash sites use a section and subSection structure, and
    within the site I use the numbers to display specific areas. But
    it's done internally. I have no code that looks at a query string
    attached to the URL so supplying the numbers to my sites will have
    no effect. The example you give clearly does read parameters passed
    in a query string so if you know the correct numbers (and the param
    names eg 'section') then you can do it.
