powerpoint 2013 tip: using smart art and actions to touch enable your next presentation

We have a great deck showcasing 8 things about Windows 8, but like many PowerPoint decks, it is designed to be given in a certain order.  Wouldn’t it be great if someone asks you about slide 3 – how Windows 8 connects you to the cloud to jump right to that slide?  You can with Smart Art and Actions!

PowerPoint 2013

In PowerPoint 2013, I created SmartArt to highlight the eight things about Windows 8 and then created an action on each of the graphics to link you directly to that topic within the deck.  You can use touch or the mouse with the deck in presentation mode to navigate to any of the eight things about Windows 8 directly.
