 * Make Image Maps in PowerPoint**

If you place an image on a PowerPoint slide, you can add clickable hotspots to it, much as you might create a clickable image map for a website. Start by adding an image to a blank slide: Choose Insert, Shapes and select a shape that suits what you want to make clickable. Draw the shape over the image. Once again select Drawing Tools, Format, followed by Shape Fill, No Fill, and then Shape Outline, No Outline, so that the shape is not visible. With the shape still selected, choose Insert, Action and select the action that you want to occur when the user clicks the shape--such as going to a different slide or to a URL. Select Highlight Click, and click OK. You can add multiple clickable shapes to this slide and test them by running the presentation. When you hold your mouse over a clickable area and click, the action will take place. If you like, you can arrange for shapes to be colored in or partially transparent, to have outlines, and even to include text prompts.
