We saw earlier that you can add images to a text document.  In the video, we have added text and image as well. It is also possible to provide links and references to an audio / video file in a text document to provide a multimedia experience to the reader.  There is an important difference between images and audio/video when integrating with a text document.  While an image is embedded within the text document an audio or video file resides out of the text document in a file folder and is accessed to play. This is done by inserting a hyper-link to the audio file or video file in your computer, to the document. Clicking on this link will access the audio/ video and play it. While publishing on a web page though, it is possible for different formats to be displayed on a single page.  We saw earlier that file links and hyper links can be added to a text document; we use the same approach to link an audio/ video.

To try this, we will open our 'Learning Digital Story Telling.odt' and insert a hyper-link to the audio interview with an expert on Digital Storytelling.  We begin by creating a section called 'Interview with an expert on digital storytelling' and enter the text

Inserting links in your slide presentation document, to file on your computer, is identical to the process followed in LibreOffice Writer.epen We have inserted a hyper-link to a video file on our computer "Interview with two teachers of the Subject Teacher Forum program  - with transition.ogg" in the slide, to the word 'Video' in the slide presentation. In the 'normal slide view', you will need to 'control-click' to open the video. In the 'Slide Show' view, simply clicking on the link will play the video.
