Test out your hotspot on the image map by viewing the slide in Slide Show view.

  1. Choose Slide Show > View Show or press the F5 key on the keyboard.

  2. Advance the slide show to view the slide containing the image map.

  3. Hover your mouse over the hotspot. The mouse pointer should change to the hand icon to indicate that this area is a hyperlink to another location.
