I opened a Powerpoint that I had done for students showing them how you could hyperlink within a Powerpoint Presentation in Impress. Hyperlinking allows you to link text from a presentation to another page in the same presentation or to a different document or web site. In this case, it was a link that took you to another card in the presentation. I have the students create these to learn how to think non-linear and also write some amazing Choose Your Own Adventure stories.
Anyway, this is not a good sign that Open Office didn't recognize the Hyperlinks I had made in Powerpoint. I was able to go into Open Office and change the links to make them work. This doesn't take long if you know where you wanted to link them to. Both programs allow you to make the hyperlinks in the same say. You highlight what you want to click on to make the choice, in the Choose your Own adventure scenerio, you highlight the choice that you want to make. When the text is highlighted, you go to insert and choose Hyperlink. You can then select what card you want this link to go to. This is going to require some extra research on my part to see if I can find a way to get the kinks out of this project.
