Create Invisible PowerPoint Hyperlinks to Webpages

Why Would I Use an Invisible Hyperlink in PowerPoint?

A hyperlink can be used on a PowerPoint slide to send a viewer to a webpage, another slide or file.

An invisible hyperlink would be used for several reasons, but one that comes to mind is that the usual hyperlink color on the slide is difficult to read due to the design theme chosen for the slide. Also, many presenters don't like the look of the underline feature of a hyperlink.

So, the simple solution is to create an invisible hyperlink on the slide.
