Open link in PowerPoint online with having to press CTRL + Click - Software & Applications - Spiceworks Community
September 12, 2023 - We’ve got a PowerPoint presentation .ppt in SharePoint that has a link in that we want users to click on whereby it will download a PDF but as the online version doesn’t seem to have the ability to open in “viewing mode” then the link doesn’t work unless you press CTRL and then click the link so although it does state you need to do this our manager has said that a lot of users won’t see it and so will think it’s broken so if there either a way to get the presentation to open in viewing mode (remember this is the online version and NOT the desktop) or to not have to press CTRL before clicking the link at all ? ... Since you are using a link, modify it in the following ways to set the file to open in presentation mode.

March 29, 2021[Powerpoint Online] How to link to another slide in the same PowerPoint
The web/free version of PPT is quite limited compared to the desktop version. If the submitted assignment MUST be in PPT, you may need to find someone with either a Mac or Windows desktop version of PPT. They could open your existing presentation and add buttons/shapes that will act as hyperlinks to previous/next/overview slides. Links like this, once created on a desktop version, will work when you view the presentation on the free web version. Another approach *might* be to create the slides in Google Slides instead of PPT. I don't use it, so I'm not really familiar with its capabilities, but it's free and worth a shot. More on reddit.com

November 25, 2021 -
I'm legit about to cry. I've been sitting on this presentation for a while now, and I need to send it to my teacher ASAP.
I couldn't get the offline version of powerpoint for free anywhere, so now I have to use PP Online. The onedrive.live.com one. I'm also on Windows 7, if that matters for the online version.
So what I need to do:
-
I need to put up a navigation bar - Basically, three buttons on every slide, that when clicked will go back, forth or to the title slide.
-
I need to link the topics in the overview slide to the actual slide about the topic. I have 5 slides to link to the overview slide.
I tried to research, but I didn't know how to phrase it, and everything I found said there should be a window popping up - but theres no goddamn window popping up and im so frustrated and i cant do this for another 4 hours. please help me

I am afraid this doesn't seem to be possible in the web version. It is simple to put in a link a website (insert / link) but not to a slide in this same presentation. Interestingly it doesn't "see" a slide link that has been put into the presentation in the desktop version; it shows the text as underlined but doesn't allow you to click on it. I was hoping to be able to enter the link in "long hand" in some way however it doesn't seem to be possible to see the format of the link which the desktop version puts in. Also the fact that such a link doesn't work when presented to the web version makes me think that the wb version just doesn't "know" about that sort of link.

First be sure you have pressed return or <space>after the hyperlink.. it should turn blue to confirm being active. To use the hyperlink in Normal view right-click anywhere within it then select Hyperlink> Open Hyperlink from the contextual menu.
