TBH, I don't think very many people know how to do this. (including me -- but thanks for pointing this out, I will definitely spend some time figuring out how to do it).
It's pretty straightforward. Simple approach:
- Make a textbox.
- Add a word for each page you want to link to.
- Highlight the word.
- Insert -> hyperlink -> Place in this document.
- Copy that textbox to every page.
Here's a simple example. I put it on github, because I don't use dropbox, and I haven't heard good things about slideshare.
Yes, I absolutely agree with that, and should have said that in my earlier comment. Thanks for bringing that up.
My problem is with the presentations, not with the tool itself.
However, I've never actually seen somebody give a non-linear PowerPoint presentation. TBH, I don't think very many people know how to do this. (including me -- but thanks for pointing this out, I will definitely spend some time figuring out how to do it).
This makes me wonder whether the problem with PowerPoint is that it makes it easy for people to be lazy with their presentations.
