A volte desideriamo inserire dei link a URL in una presentazione Powerpoint. URL è l’acronimo di Universal Resource Locator ed è un termine di internet. Generalmente si riferisce all’ indirizzo di un sito internet, come per esempio http://www.slidecoaching.com. Se costruite una presentazione con PowerPoint, il link all’URL verrà sottolineato, il colore generalmente cambierà a seconda del tema che avete attivato (proprio come succede anche in Microsoft Word) e sarà attivo quando visualizzate la presentazione. Un link che è riconosciuto come URL da PowerPoint sarà riconosciuto come tale anche se caricate la vostra presentazione su Slideshare, un sito molto conosciuto per la condivisione di presentaizoni.
Il testo del link non deve essere esattamente il testo dell’URL, può essere qualsiasi cosa, anche più parole, e quindi non deve per forza contenere il prefisso http, che magari non piace esteticamente. Se il link è attivo e funzionante in PowerPoint, quindi sottolineato, perderà la sottolineatura quando caricato su Slideshare, ma funzionerà. Spostate il mouse sopra il testo e vedrete apparire una manina, che indica un link attivo.
Come fare?
Per inserire un link dietro a qualsiasi oggetto o pezzo di testo su PowerPoint basta selezionare col mouse il testo o l’oggetto da collegare, e poi utilizzare la funzione Inserisci / Collegamento ipertestuale. Apparirà una finestra dove nella parte alta viene scritto il testo da visualizzare (quello che avete selezionato) mentre nella parte bassa di fianco alla scritta “Indirizzo” potrete inserire l’URL giusto della pagina internet, compreso di prefisso http://
Ecco tre slide semplicissime di esempio caricata su Slideshare, dove si possono vedere testi e oggetti collegati a siti internet. Anche le icone dei social network sulla terza slide (Twitter e Facebook) contengono link ai relativi account, una bella idea da utilizzare nella prima o nell’ultima slide di una presentazione.

i insert the hyperlink in the slide but when upload on slide share….the link is not clickable….is there anything that i miss
Wan, it takes a little time for the links to be active. What is the URL of the presentation you uploaded?
I also just noticed that the URL does not lose the underlining from PowerPoint/Acrobat, which is a good thing as it makes links more obvious to visitors.
December 2011 update: there are occasional problems with URL links in Slideshare due to their transition to HTLM5. One of my latest test presentations does not work like the you see above. Hopefully the folks at Slideshare will fix this soon.
Yea my text links work but when I link to a picture it doesn’t work! Very Frustrating.
Jeff, I have been in contact with Slideshare on this, and they are aware of the problem. They are migrating to HTML5 and this is an open problem.
Older presentations seem fine but the new ones I uploaded have issues on URL links behind pictures. Hopefully it will be solved soon. I share your frustration!
I have the same problem with the pictures, i uploaded 50 slides to my slideshare, then only to realise that the picture links werent working :/ i hope it gets fixed!
I chased Slideshare support on this again and got a new presentation fixed. See http://www.slideshare.net/acimatti/powerpoint-presentation-2012
Not sure they will all be ok from now on, but I hope so!
Is there anyway that I can place a rul in the content underneath a video in slideshare. I know a url will not work inside the video but if I could place it in the text beneath the video I think that would work.
Thanks
If you add a video using SlideShare it will take up the entire slide and the slide is created by SlideShare, so you cannot modify it to add a URL link. You could put the link in the previous or next slide. Maybe some of the PRO features for lead generation might do what you require.
Hi I have uploaded a few presentations all set with hyperlinks but only a few of them migrate I use the samae method each time .What is happening?

Dennis, if you want to share the URL of your presentation on slideshare, I can take a look.
I have the same problem, please help me. I can’t make a link. What is wrong with this http://www.slideshare.net/racksmith712/dj-programs-ppt-13228233
Your only working URL is on the title slide. The others are not seen as URLs, not even by Powerpoint. This is because there is not http:// prefix to the url: You can see the link is not seen by PPT because it is not underlined. The full URL on your title page works because it is complete and PPT accepted it.
Select the text with PPT, and insert a hyperlink to where you want it to go.
I am baffled. My links were working in an earlier upload of this presentation. I made some edits, re-uploaded it, and now no working links. I upgraded to pro to collect leads and promote our conference. At first it showed the campaign with an email link in the presentation and now it doesn’t. Any ideas?
Ray, I can understand your frustration, I suggest you get in touch with slideshare support.
Thanks for the tip slidecoach. Works like a treat mate!
Hey slidecoach
I am getting quite frustrated on trying to make PDF links work.
My links work on PDFs, if they are not on slideshare, but when I upload these files to slideshare, the links won´t work.
Do you have a hint?
(ex: http://www.slideshare.net/alfjmrodrigues/o-que-e-onpage-seo)
Cheers

This is another example: http://www.slideshare.net/alfjmrodrigues/o-que-oonpageseo
You will see at the top a link (onpage SEO) which works fine outside slideshare…
Any Ideas, please?
