If you want to make your invisible hyperlink as a circle or other shape, you can do so by using the AutoShapes, from the Drawing toolbar at the bottom of the screen. This method requires an extra few steps, because you must first apply the Action Settings and then change the "color" of the AutoShape to be invisible.

Use an AutoShape

  1. From the Drawing toolbar at the bottom of the screen, choose AutoShapes > Basic Shapes and choose a shape from the selections.
    (Note - If the Drawing toolbar is not visible, choose View > Toolbars > Drawing from the main menu.)

  2. Drag your mouse over the object you wish to link.
