Can anyone provide an example address for a hyperlink originating in an EXCEL
cell with a specific slide in a .ppt file as the destination. I can reach the
file but have been unable to figure out how to open directly to a chosen
slide. They say it can be done. Thanx

Hi,

Maybe the easiest way to do this is to open powerpoint and the presentation.
Select the slide you want to hyperlink to and choose Copy.

Switch to Excel, select the cell where you want the hyperlink and choose
Edit, Paste Special, Hyperlink.

You may need to type something into the cell because nothing appears
automatically, although if you hover you will see the hyperlink.

This opens powerpoint in presentation mode with the desired slide displayed.

The reference looks something like
File:///C:\Users\Shane\Desktop\Classes\Advanced%20Charting\Excel%20Charts.ppt#257,2,Slide 2

Cheers,
