Hyperlink problems

I have a powerpoint presentation using four multiple masters. One multiple
master has a bulleted list of action buttons hyperlinked to all the slides,
23 total. Most of the hyperlinks work, but there are four, near the bottom,
that do not. I have tried linking and relinking the buttons, deleting them
and recreating to no avail. It is always the same four that don't work. If I
link a button to the slide I want elsewhere, it works, but if I move the
button to where I want it to go, the hyperlink stops working. HELP!

I'm not sure I understand when the link does and does not work. If you are
saying that there are four slides that you can't link to, then your problem
is likely to be commas (or possibly other punctuation, but probably commas)
in the titles of those slides. Try removing any commas from the slide
titles of the problem slides (the ones you are trying to link to), and you
should be good to go.

See if this is what you want:
"Lost hyperlinks, hyperlinks link to wrong place, hyperlinks stop working"
