This tutorial is designed so that you can create an interactive flowchart beforehand, or you can instruct your students on these skills as part of the lesson, depending on your curriculum objectives and the age of your students. In this example, you are going to create an interactive flowchart demonstrating the function and process of the digestive system. Before beginning this lesson, students research their chosen human body system and locate, copy, and save images to be used in the presentation to file. View the sample flowchart in the box to the right before you get started. Creating links to different slides in the presentationTo provide your presentation with more navigation options, you are going to add links to the flowchart on the first slide. Doing this will enable the user to visit the corresponding slide later in the presentation by clicking a link in that step of the flowchart. 1. | On the Slides tab, go to Slide 1 by clicking it. | 2. | Click the edge of the first text box in your flowchart to select it.
In the example, the first text box contains the word mouth. | 3. | While the text box is selected, on the Insert menu, click Hyperlink. 
| 4. | Under Link to, click Place in This Document. | 5. | In the list under Select a place in this document, click the slide that you want to link to.
In the example, the first text box of the first slide that contains the word mouth should link to the second slide, which explains the function of the mouth. | 6. | Click OK. | 7. | View the slide show by pressing F5. | 8. | Move the pointer over the first text box in the flowchart, the pointer changes to a hand, and then click.
You are taken directly to the slide that you selected as the destination for this link. | 9. | Repeat these steps to link each text box in the flowchart to the accompanying explanatory slide.
The viewer can now view the slide show sequentially, or can choose to explore the presentation in a different order. |
