Shapes are the building blocks of almost anything you do on your PowerPoint slides — and PowerPoint provides hundreds of shapes categorized into nine types. Among all the shape types, Action Buttons work a little differently. Action Buttons are essentially rectangular shapes that are used as navigation aids to move between slides — or even another presentation, document, or a web URL. You insert an Action Button in the same way as you insert any other shape.
