In this article we will show you how to add an invisible shortcut to the end so that you can quickly end your PowerPoint. Your audience will never know that they have missed parts of the PowerPoint.
1. Jump to the end
We will add a button on the slide that links to the end slide in the presentation. Click “Insert” → “Shapes”, choose any of the shapes.
Drag your mouse to draw on the slide and place the shape at the corner of the slide.
Now add the hyperlink to the end slide on the shape. Right click and choose “Hyperlink”.
In the popup window, click “Place in this Document” and choose the last slide to hyperlink to.
2. Invisible the button
It will be much better if the inserted button is invisible, you only need to remember the location and move your mouse there and click it. That’s why we place it at the corner. Right click on the shape and choose “Format Shape”.
In the popup window, choose “No Fill” in both “Fill” and “Line Color” tab.
3. Invisible button on every slide
You will never know when you will need to jump to the end slide. It’s never in the plan, that’s why we create this quick shortcut to end the PowerPoint slideshow.
Method 1:
Copy and paste the button to every slide. The hyperlink and location will be the same as the original slide.
Method 2:
By adding button to the Slide Master, the button is available on all slides so you can click it at any time. In this way, you should create the invisible button in the Slide Master from the very beginning. Click “View” → “Slide Master”.
