Action buttons in PowerPoint
Action buttons are the predefined buttons that are used to traverse quickly and efficiently in a presentation. They are used for defining hyperlinked objects. The hyperlinked objects can be a Web page, a file or a network location. Action buttons are mostly used for self executing presentations. The main reason for doing so is when you want a presentation that will be viewed when you’re not there. For example, you create a presentation on sales of the previous year for your employees. They can then navigate through your slides in their own time, by clicking the buttons. When the buttons are clicked they will perform an action, such as advancing to the next slide.
