Is it possable to control hyperlinks so that they are not automatically
changed into a different colour?!  And to make the hyperlink open a new page
so i can keep the existing one open? Any thoughts - Many thanks

In PPT 2002/2003 you can draw a nearly transparent (99% transparent) object
(e.g. a box) over the text then set your link on the object instead.

Check out "Control the formatting of hyperlinked text" from the PPT FAQ:

As far as opening a hyperlink in a new window (like you do with Web
pages), I do not believe that you can do this.

In one limited case it can work:  set a Run Program action setting to run a
locally available html file (ie, have it run Something.htm but not
http://www.domain.ext/something.htm)
