Previously, we showed you some tricks that can help you present smartly. Some of them are how to
integrate a web page into a slide
how to
insert YouTube videos
and how to
zoom in and out slides
in slideshow mode.
Today we’re about to discover another trick that can save you time during your presentation and keep your audience distracted. Sometimes you may want to execute a program so that you can show real-time examples of whatever you are presenting. Generally, you’ll exit presentation mode, return to your desktop, search for the program, and then run it. Definitely not the best way. We’ll show you how to do that from a slide in slide mode.
We go here.
Steps to put the program implementation on PowerPoint slides
This tutorial is based on PowerPoint 2013. We’ll start with a new presentation, and I recommend trying it out while reading this.
Step 1: Create a slide with some text or object on it. Here, is a sample slide.
Step 2: Select the text or object that you want to use as the trigger point.
Step 3: Still selecting the object/text, navigate to Insert navigation. Under link section, select Work.
Step 4: That action will show Action settings window. Select a tab – Click the mouse or Hover over – based on the action gesture you like. Both have the same options below it.
Step 5: We take Click the mouse action for this example. Select Run the program radio button and browse for the desired program to be run.
Step 6: Navigate to the required program on the file explorer and select its exe file. For example: firefox.exe.
Note: You can provide one more parameter that you want to open the application. For example, C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe https://www.guidingtech.com is my complete action mapping.
It is done. When in presentation mode, you can easily launch the program from your slides without having to navigate away from the presentation. You may get a security warning while doing that. There is nothing to worry about giving it away.
Note: The program will not be integrated into the presentation. Instead, it will be run externally. So if you are going to present using another machine, be sure of the application’s path.
Conclusion
This is the best way to give your audience an action to perform in a presentation. In the same space, you can give more importance to each object embedded in it. Nice way to get some extra applause, right?
