How do you create a hyperlink to an email address in PowerPoint?

To create a hyperlink to an email address in PowerPoint, the method involves selecting the 'Insert Hyperlink' option and choosing email address as the link type. This allows you to create a functional hyperlink that, when clicked, opens the default email client on the user's device and pre-fills the "To" field with the designated email address.

When using the hyperlink feature, you specifically select the option for email addresses, which formats it correctly with the "mailto:" prefix, ensuring that the hyperlink works seamlessly for any user who clicks on it. This method provides a professional and efficient way to link directly to an email address, enhancing the interactivity of your presentation.

The other options do not achieve the same connectivity. Simply inserting a text box with an email address does not create a hyperlink, and copying and pasting the email address will not function as a clickable link. Using the 'Email' option under the 'Insert' menu is not a standard feature in PowerPoint, and thus would not reliably lead to creating a hyperlink to an email address.
