Check in the control panel for the options available... I haven't worked with 'that' plugin, but I know 'most' plugins will at least allow for a right button in the Nav Bar that will allow you to go to another screen, so I'm sure the PPT plugin must have it as well. Usually found under the area that says 'Top Navigation Bar' in your PPT screen control panel. It may have other options as well. Cheers! -- Smug

Hi smug, yup i did see that, but here the issue is .. NOTE: i am just preparing a demo app now. the powerpoint actually mimics a college schedule. and the first event in that schedule is clickable .. so the area which is to be clicked is actually within the content screen. so cant use the top nav bar. also alternatively, if i could convert my whole powerpoint presentation to an app should be perfect too. (the app demo was created on ppt with all the links in it). do you have any suggestions, if i could do that then nothing better. Thanks rahul.

You will have to wait for Chris1’s HTML Pro plugin to be published, it allows you to have HTML Links point to other screens. Alternatively, convert your PPT to HTML and then use the HTML (not Pro) plugin. -- Niraj

hi niraj, i can create an html of the ppt i have, but then how can i still href to other screens of the same app. for example i have this about us page which i have created on html and it contains names of our professors and each image links to a brief description about them. for each professors i do have different html screens too.

Gosh, it's been a while since I have done HTML in BuzzTouch. I think you simply reference the filename. Try a few variations and let us know what worked for you. -- Niraj
