You can add any shape onto your Powerpoint slide and turn it into a button by adding a hyperlink to it.
So insert a rectangle, type the word Next onto it, and then select it and from the Insert tab on the Ribbon at the top, choose Hyperlink. Under "Link to" choose "A place in this document" and then choose "Next slide". This will make a button that links to the next slide in your course. You can place it on the slide after the paragraph, and then copy and paste it to use it again on other slides.
Keep in mind if you're using your own custom Next button you might want to get rid of the navigation buttons available in the Player. To do this, go into your Slide Properties and uncheck Next and Prev button from Branching. Here's a helpful article: Meet the new Studio 13 Player.
