Hyperlinks on Microsoft PowerPoint slides direct viewers to websites or to files on your computer. The links can display the destination's address but they can also take the form of any other text that you choose. Much of the time, designers name the link using text that already exists in the slide. To rename a link, use PowerPoint's Insert Hyperlink dialog box.
1. Click and highlight the link that you want to rename.
2. Click "Insert" in PowerPoint's menu bar.
3. Click "Hyperlink" from the ribbon's Links tab. This opens the Insert Hyperlink dialog box.
4. Type the new name that you want to assign to text in the "Text to Display" box.
5. Click "OK."
