From the main family tree page, you may wish to branch out to other relatives in your family tree, or take a closer look at your immediate family tree. This can be done by adding new slides with that information.
Hyperlinking to different slides will allow the viewer to navigate to different branches depending on which member they choose.
Note - I did not have success with hyperlinking directly from the text on the shapes created with the organization chart. For some reason this did not work in PowerPoint 2007. I had to take a further step by adding a shape and text box on top of the existing shape in order for the hyperlinking to work. What follows are the steps I took to do that. As a side note, I would love to hear from anyone who has success with hyperlinks created directly from the text in the organization chart.Steps to Add New Shapes for Hyperlinking
- Select the slide where you want to create a hyperlink from.
- Click on the Insert tab of the ribbon.
- Click the Shapes icon.
- Select a shape that closely matches the existing shape on the slide.
- Draw the shape over top of the existing shape on the slide.
- Right click on the new shape and choose Format Shape...
- Edit the color of the shape to match the original shape.
