To use linked objects to navigate between slides, you must set your slideshow to play as a Normal or Links Only presentation type. You can also set your presentation to play immediately after it’s opened, continuously on a loop, or from the beginning if left idle.
In the Document sidebar, click the Document tab.
Choose an option from the Presentation type pop-up menu:
Normal: The presentation changes slides or starts animations when the viewer presses the Right Arrow or Left Arrow key, clicks a mouse or trackpad, or clicks a link on a slide. This option is useful if you want to present slides sequentially.
Links Only: The presentation changes slides or starts animations only when the viewer clicks a link. This option is useful if you want to present an interactive slideshow in a kiosk setting, or if you want to present slides in nonsequential order.
Tip: In a Links Only presentation, make sure each slide contains a link (to prevent dead-end slides).
In the Slideshow Settings area of the Document tab, select one or more playback options:
Automatically play upon open: The presentation begins playing immediately after it’s opened.
Loop slideshow: At the end of the slideshow, the presentation returns to the first slide.
Restart show if idle for: Use the up or down arrow to set the amount of idle time with no viewer interaction before a presentation returns to the first slide.
To start the presentation, click to select the slide you want to begin with in the slide navigator, then click in the toolbar.
