Summary Slide
• To maximize the value of the presentation, you
can create a summary slide.
• It serve as a “home page” for your Web-based
slide show.
• You can also create hyperlinks that enable
viewers to move to specific slides, to other
presentations, or to Web sites.
• Hyperlinks can also be used to display files
created with other programs, such as Excel
worksheets, to clarify assumptions, or to support
conclusions.

Creating a Summary Slide
• A summary slide is a list of the titles, formatted
as bullet points, from selected slides in your
presentation. You can create a summary slide to
use as an agenda slide or as the home page for
an online presentation.
• To create a summary slide, you select the
slides you want to include from Slide Sorter
view, and then you click the Summary Slide
button on the Slide Sorter toolbar.

Creating a Hyperlink
• The power of a Web presentation lies in its
ability to include hyperlinks to different places: to
another slide in the presentation, to another
slide show, to a file on your computer or your
company’s intranet, or to a Web address.
• You use the Action Settings command on the
Slide Show menu to create these hyperlinks.
• You can add a hyperlink to any text or object—a
shape, table, graph, or picture.

Creating a Hyperlink
• In addition to attaching hyperlinks to text or
objects, you can also attach them to
PowerPoint’s predefined action buttons, which
include the Home, Help, Information, Back, Next,
Beginning, End, and Return buttons.
• You add an action button to a slide by clicking
Action Buttons on the Slide Show menu, clicking
a button type, dragging to create a button of that
type on a slide or the Slide Master, and then
specifying its link.

Previewing and Saving a
Presentation as a Web Page
• With PowerPoint, you can easily save a
presentation as a Web page.
• You can preview a presentation by using the
Web Page Preview command on the File
menu.
• Before saving a Web presentation you might
want to save the presentation’s graphics in PNG
(Portable Networks Graphics) format.
• PNG graphic files are smaller than those of most
other graphic formats, so they can be saved and
downloaded faster.

Creating a Web Presentation
by Using the AutoContent Wizard
• You can use the AutoContent Wizard to
create a presentation designed for Web
viewing. When you create this type of
presentation, PowerPoint places action
buttons on the screen for the user to click
to navigate through the slide show.
• You must select Web Presentation option
during wizard.

Chapter 14 Summary
• You can create a summary slide to use as an agenda slide
or as the home page for a Web presentation.
• You can add a hyperlink to any text or object to directly link
it to another slide, presentation, file, or Web address.
• You can create action buttons to which you can attach
navigational hyperlinks.
• You can save a presentation as a Web page in HTML.
When it is displayed in a Web browser, the page has a
navigation frame with hyperlinks that enable the viewer to
jump from slide to slide.
• After you save a Web presentation, you don’t have to edit
the HTML file to make changes. You can open the Web
presentation in PowerPoint and make and save changes
that will be reflected in the presentation the next time it is
viewed in a Web browser.
