You can insert a link to a file that is located on the current computer or in a network folder into your presentation. The link can reference a file of any format.

The link can be displayed in the presentation as follows:

–Paths to the file. For example, C:\Users\User\Documents\File.pptx (Windows) or /Users/User/Downloads/File.pptx (Linux or macOS).

–Text: For example, link to the file. You can specify the text of the link either on the slide or in the link insertion window.

To add a link to a file in your presentation, follow these steps:

1.Specify the place to insert the link in one of the following ways:

•To format a typed word as a link, place the cursor in the word or select the entire word. To format a typed text fragment as a link, select the whole text fragment.

•To add a word or text fragment with a link to a presentation that has not yet been typed, place the cursor at the desired location in the presentation. If you want to insert a word or a text fragment with a link into an empty table cell, select the cell or place the cursor in it.
