How to Hide a Slide in PowerPoint Presentation

Method 1 of 2:

Hiding the Slide

Open up a PowerPoint presentation. Since you want to hide a slide, it is assumed that you already have a PowerPoint presentation created. Find the file on your computer and open it.
Select the correct slide. On the left side of your screen, you should see a list of all the slides in your presentation. Click the one you wish to hide.
1. If you have successfully selected a slide, a box will appear around that slide.
Click Slide Show. From the tabs near the top of the PowerPoint window, choose Slide Show. This tab controls everything to do with how the presentation will be presented.
Click Hide Slide. From the options within the Slide Show tab, find and click on the Hide Slide button. These options should be located near the top of the PowerPoint window.
1. If you have successfully hid a slide, there will be a slash over the number correlated with the hidden slide.
2. Repeat this process to hide multiple slides.
Reveal the slide. If you wish to show the slide again, simply repeat this process.

Method 2 of 2:

Accessing the Hidden Slide

Make a link to the hidden slide. You may wish to create a link to the hidden slide so that you can still access it while in presentation mode. It can sometimes be embarrassing to switch back to editing mode during a presentation.
Click Insert. Click the Insert tab from the top of the window. This tab controls everything you can insert into a slide, including pictures, videos, etc.
Select text. Highlight the text you wish to create a link from. This will be what you click to access the hidden slide during a presentation, so choose a place that makes sense. You may wish to add some text at the end of the presentation saying something like, "More information," and creating the link from that text.
Choose Hyperlink. Click the Hyperlink button from the options within the Insert tab.
1. Choose Place in this document from the options on the left side of the pop-up window.
2. Select the hidden slide and click the OK button from the bottom right of the window.
