Accessible Links

PowerPoint automatically creates a hyperlink when a user pastes a full URL onto a slide and presses Enter or Space. Raw URLs may not make sense to screen reader users or others, so make the link text descriptive.

To change the link text right-click the link and select Edit Hyperlink

Note

If you are creating a presentation that is intended to be displayed electronically and in a printout, you may want to include the URL and a description in the link text. For example, "TMCC Disability Resource Center (tmcc.edu/drc)."
