QUESTION: I want to link selected slides in a PowerPoint
presentation to a shorter presentation containing some
references. My need is one of creating a way to easily branch
off to these other slides, as well as to easily come back to
the main presentation. How do I do this?
ANSWER: There are several ways to do this.
a) The simplest way to do this is to use the "Hidden
Slide" feature available when you are in Slide Sorter mode.
After the slides that need to be linked to the "optional"
reference content, add the slide with the extra content, but
after having selected it, "hide" it by selecting the
appropriate button in the toolbar.
When you are running your presentation the "hidden" slides
are not shown unless you press the "H" key while you are
on a slide that precedes a hidden slide. So, when you need
to call up the "extra" slide, you press "H". After
having used it the presentation will resume back to the next following
slide.
