Hello,

I have a Mac running Sierra version 10.12.3.

I'm fairly new with Mac so please excuse me for my ignorance.

I have a PowerPoint presentation that I've been working on, online through Office 360 onedrive.

For some reason I can't seem to paste the website link I need or any link for that matter into the powerpoint. I can copy and paste into word and everything else, but won't allow it in PowerPoint. I've tried the command C and command V to paste but nothing shows up. I've tried the 'insert hyperlink' as well but it won't let me past. Really don't want to have to 'type' it all into the box one character at a time..

I've even tried to save a copy of that presentation onto desktop but the 360 online won't download it. Is it because I don't have PowerPoint on computer itself?

Really hope some could point me in the right direction.

Summary

In a slide show presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint, you can create a hyperlink to a mailto Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to send mail to a specific recipient. The mailto URL uses the following syntax:

where mailto is the protocol, and email_address is the e-mail address of the recipient (for example example@microsoft.com).

This mailto link can be used in a presentation running in Kiosk mode; however, the Kiosk station must have a method, such as a keyboard, to write the message. Nevertheless, you can format the mailto URL to address a mail message to a specific recipient when you activate the link. This article describes how to create a mailto hyperlink.

To create a mailto hyperlink, follow these steps:

1. Go to the slide on which you want to create the mailto hyperlink.

2. Draw a text frame (or shape) to use as the mailto hyperlink.

3. Enter some text in the frame. For example, type 'Mail To' (without the quotation marks), to describe the function of the frame.

   If you want to format the text frame to look like a button, add a color fill and a border around the frame.

4. Select the text frame, and then click Action Settings on the Slide Show menu.

5. Click the Mouse Click tab.

6. Click Hyperlink To. In the Hyperlink To list, click URL.

8. Click OK.

9. Click OK again.

When you click the mailto link during the slide show, a new mail message that contains the recipient's e-mail address appears on your screen.

Note

For this to work, you must have an e-mail client installed and it must be running correctly.
