There is a PowerPoint sample file which exemplifies how to make a PowerPoint presentation interactive. It gives examples of using buttons on a slide for navigation. It also gives examples of creating a hyperlink for some selected text, in our case, answers to questions.
There are many references to online tutorials on the Internet. Use your favorite search engine and type in "Powerpoint tutorial", for example, in the search dialog. Then click go and you will be taken to many, many sites that have online tutorials about Microsoft PowerPoint. My favorite search engine is Google. I found the following links and references using Google.
An excellent link to use is my brother Ed's web site. Like me, he has also been teaching for a while and is currently teaching Microsoft Office at Burlington County Community College. Although this is a college level course, the reference links and quizzes are useful for anyone at any level of understanding of the MS Office applications.
