Creating summary slide with hyperlinks in Powerpoint

AFTER finishing your Powerpoint presentation, you can create a slide that lists the main sections of your presentation. With an agenda slide, you can jump to a related section in your presentation and then automatically return to the agenda slide. Heres how:

3. Select the slides to be included in your summary. (Use the Shift key for multiple slide selection)
4. Click the Summary Slide button (icon with 3 little slides with an arrow pointing to a bigger slide)
4. PowerPoint will then create a summary slide from all the "Titles" of the slides you selected. It will be placed in front of the first slide that you selected.
