Use of hyperlinks

Does putting loads of hyperlinks into your powerpoint presentation increase the file size significantly?

RE: Use of hyperlinks

Hi David

Thank you for your question - hyperlinks are text in your document rather than embedded items. When you click on the link PowerPoint will attempt to follow the link to the file on your PC or network. The file size of your presentation won't increase significantly.

I hope this helps,

Kind regards,
Andrew

PowerPoint tip:

Display pictures inside shapes

Here is a suggestion for adding a professional touch to your presentations: displaying pictures within shapes. This can look particularly good if you use pictures within circles or stars.

To create this effect, draw a shape on your slide from the Drawing toolbar.

Click on the Fill Color button found on the Draw Toolbar usually found at the bottom of the screen; or alternatively right-click on the shape and select 'Format Autoshape'.

Select the Fill Effects option then the Picture tab. Use the 'Select picture' button to find the picture on your computer, then click Insert. Selecting the 'Lock picture aspect ratio' helps to keep the picture in proportion.
