Add Invisible Shortcut to End PowerPoint Presentation Quickly

Posted on 23:13 by Unknown
When you’re doing the PowerPoint presentation, how will you end the PowerPoint slideshow in the following cases? You didn’t organize the time efficiently that the time is nearly out but the presentation is far to the end. You have an emergency and need to quit earlier. How can you end the PowerPoint presentation early without looking like you’ve shortchanged the audience?

In this article we will show you how to add an invisible shortcut to the end so that you can quickly end your PowerPoint. Your audience will never know that they have missed parts of the PowerPoint.

1. Jump to the end

We will add a button on the slide that links to the end slide in the presentation. Click “Insert” → “Shapes”, choose any of the shapes.

2. Invisible the button

It will be much better if the inserted button is invisible, you only need to remember the location and move your mouse there and click it. That’s why we place it at the corner. Right click on the shape and choose “Format Shape”.

3. Invisible button on every slide

You will never know when you will need to jump to the end slide. It’s never in the plan, that’s why we create this quick shortcut to end the PowerPoint slideshow.

Method 1:
Copy and paste the button to every slide. The hyperlink and location will be the same as the original slide.

Method 2:
By adding button to the Slide Master, the button is available on all slides so you can click it at any time. In this way, you should create the invisible button in the Slide Master from the very beginning. Click “View” → “Slide Master”.

That’s it! When you want to end the PowerPoint quickly, don’t click on the slide, it will advance to the next slide; click the invisible button and jump to the end slide directly.
