In previous blogentries I showed you how to link to a specific slide in another presentation.
What if you want to link to a
specific part of a text in a Word document, for instance part of a contract, report or such...
Well you can, but first you have to bookmark that part of your text in your Word document. To do that, open your document, browse to the part you want to show, select it, on the
Insert tab in the
Links group click
Bookmark.
Type a suitable name for the bookmark en click
Add:
Save and close the Word document.
In PowerPoint select the object you want to apply the link to. Click
Insert -
Hyperlink - in the dialog box under link to the option
Existing file or web page should already be active.
Browse to the folder that contains the Word document you want to link to and select it.
Now in the address box edit the link as follows, at the very end add
#Name Bookmark in my case I added
#Oefening 10.
That's all there is to it. Upon clicking the link the bookmarked part of the document is shown.
Once you viewed the document, close the Word Window and you will return to your original slide.
As mentioned in previous entries the warning message will appear, just add the Word document to your trusted locations and you should be alright.
