向PowerPoint 幻灯片(PowerPoint Slide)添加操作按钮(Action Buttons)
打开一个新的PowerPoint 幻灯片(PowerPoint slide)演示文稿并决定您希望操作按钮驻留的位置。

假设您只想在演示文稿中添加主页(Home)、上(Previous)一张幻灯片和下一张(Next) 幻灯片操作(slide action)按钮。首先单击功能区上的(Ribbon)插入(Insert)选项卡并找到功能区(Ribbon)中标题为插图(Illustrations)的部分。
找到并单击(Locate and click)此部分中标题为Shapes的按钮。
单击此按钮时，您会注意到 PowerPoint 会打开一个长菜单，其中包含许多不同类型的形状，您可以将其添加到演示文稿中。
在列表的最底部，找到标题为“操作按钮(Action Buttons)”的部分，然后单击上面带有房屋(House)图片的按钮。
现在您已经点击了House按钮，您需要将它放在幻灯片上。将鼠标指针大致(mouse pointer)定位(Position)在您希望按钮所在的位置并按住鼠标左键(left mouse button)。
拖动(Drag)鼠标直到按钮大小接近您想要的大小，然后松开鼠标左键(left mouse button)。
PowerPoint将立即打开“操作设置”(Actions Settings)窗口。事实证明，默认设置正是您想要的。
请注意，在“鼠标单击(Mouse Click)”选项卡上，“超链接至”(Hyperlink To)选项已被选中，并且“第一张幻灯片(First Slide)”链接已在下拉菜单中被选中。
请注意(Notice)，当用户将鼠标悬停在按钮上时，还可以设置一些选项，您甚至可以将按钮设置为启动程序、运行宏、播放声音和其他事件。浏览完此窗口后，单击(Click)“确定”按钮。(OK)
返回“插入”菜单上的“(Insert)形状(Shapes)”按钮，再次找到菜单底部的“操作按钮”部分。(Action Buttons)这一次，选择箭头指向左侧的按钮。
和以前一样，将按钮放在幻灯片上，PowerPoint(slide and PowerPoint)将打开“操作设置”(Actions Settings)窗口。请(Notice)再次注意，默认设置是您对上一个(Previous)按钮所需要的设置。单击确定(OK)按钮。使用与上述相同的过程，将Next Action Button 放入幻灯片中。
完成后，您的幻灯片上应该有一个Home、Previous和 Next操作按钮(Action Button)。如果您对按钮的颜色、位置或大小不满意，可以更改它们，就像更改PowerPoint 演示文稿(PowerPoint presentation)中的任何其他对象一样。
许多演示者未充分利用操作按钮(Action Buttons)，可以让您在演示期间更轻松地浏览演示文稿，或者让拥有演示文稿副本的观众更轻松地浏览演示文稿。操作按钮可让您立即导航到另一张幻灯片，甚至启动应用程序或宏(application or macro)。
为了给演示增添一些乐趣，您甚至可以在您或观众单击按钮时播放声音。(sound play)尝试使用操作按钮(Action Buttons)的一些设置，为您的演示文稿创建更具交互性的体验。
How to Add Action Buttons to a PowerPoint Presentation
Found in a strange place in the application, you сan add action buttons to а РowerPoint slide to make your presentation more іnteractive and easier to uѕe for the viewer.
These action buttons can make a presentation simpler to navigate and make the slides in your presentation behave like web pages.
Before you add action buttons to a PowerPoint presentation, consider carefully how your viewers will use your presentation. Should the action buttons be a prominent part of the slides or simply occupy a small portion at the bottom or off to the side?
How will the viewer use the buttons and will navigation by action buttons only confuse the message your presentation is trying to portray? When you have answered these questions, you can add action buttons to your presentation knowing that they will aid rather than confuse the viewer.
Adding Action Buttons to a PowerPoint Slide
Open up a new PowerPoint slide presentation and decide where you want your actions buttons to reside.
At the bottom is a logical choice but you may prefer that Next and Previous buttons reside to the left and right of the slide. In that case, be sure you allocate enough space in those places for the actions buttons.
Suppose you simply want to add Home, Previous slide, and Next slide action buttons to your presentation. Begin by clicking on the Insert tab on the Ribbon and locating a section of the Ribbon titled Illustrations.
Locate and click on the button in this section titled Shapes.
When you click on this button, you will notice that PowerPoint opens up a long menu with many different types of shapes you can add to your presentations.
At the very bottom of the list, locate the section titled Action Buttons and click on the button with a picture of a House on it.
Now that you’ve clicked on the House button, you need to place it on your slide. Position your mouse pointer approximately in the location where you want the button to be and hold down the left mouse button.
Drag your mouse until the button is approximately the size you want it and let go of the left mouse button.
PowerPoint will immediately open up the Actions Settings window. As it turns out, the default settings are exactly what you want here.
Notice that on the Mouse Click tab, the Hyperlink To option is already checked and the First Slide link is already chosen in the drop down menu.
Notice that there are also options to set for when the user hovers the mouse over the button and you can even set the button to launch a program, run a macro, play a sound, and other events. Click the OK button when you are done exploring this window.
Go back to the Shapes button on the Insert menu and once again locate the Action Buttons section at the bottom of the menu. This time, select the button with the arrow pointing to the left.
Just as before, place the button on your slide and PowerPoint will open the Actions Settings window. Notice that once again, the default settings are what you need for the Previous button. Click the OK button. Using the same procedures as above, place a Next Action Button into your slide.
When finished, you should have a Home, Previous, and Next Action Button on your slide. If you are not satisfied with the colors, placement, or size of your buttons, you can change them just as you can any other object in a PowerPoint presentation.
Underutilized by many presenters, Action Buttons can make your presentation easier to navigate for you during a presentation or for a viewer who has a copy of your presentation. Actions buttons allow you to navigate instantly to another slide or even launch an application or macro.
To add some fun to a presentation, you can even have a sound play when you or the viewer clicks the button. Play around with some of the settings of the Action Buttons to create a more interactive experience for your presentation.
