In Power Point, how to create links to other applications? 1

[wec43wec]

In Power Point, how would you go about establishing an icon or link on a ppt slide where I can click an icon or link to go to an excel or MS Word file and then return back to the same ppt slide.

I want to do a presentation where I want to reference data in other applications and be able to return to the same location in ppt. If this is possible, I would be doing this on a lt of slides.

Thanks

You don't say which PPT version you're on so the below relates to 2010

From the main set up screen click INSERT
Then OBJECT
from there you can chose CREATE FROM NEW or CREATE FROM FILE via the radio buttons and MS EXCEL and WORD are both options there as well as many other things like PDF, Images etc.


Please remember that with all my answers there most likely is a better way to achieve your results but I prefer the quick, simple and down right dirty approach!!
