Shapes may look basic or even primitive, but they are the building blocks of almost anything you create on your PowerPoint slides. Fortunately, you are not deprived of choices — PowerPoint provides plenty of shapes categorized into nine types. Among all the shape types, Action Buttons behave a wee bit differently. Action Buttons are essentially rectangular shapes that are used as navigation aids to navigate between slides — or even another presentation, document, or a web URL. You insert an Action Button in almost the same way as you insert any other shape.
