MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / August 2006Hyperlink in Word to open PPS
I have set up a hyperlink in a Word document to open up a PowerPoint slide show. The link works fine other than it opens it with a web toolbar and the standard toolbar, and the standard toolbar allows you to go into the edit mode. I am creating this as a document to be used in production and would like it to simply open the slide show(full screen, no toolbars, no edit capability). A short cut works but it the file location moves the link is lost. Thaks for any help you can give me -- Jana Hi Jana, Embed the PowerPoint presentation into the Word document (yes, it will make the DOC file much larger). In Word --- Select where in the document you want the presentation to be opened from. Insert Object Create from File Navigate to the ppt file Make sure the Link to file check box is unchecked Check the box 'Show as icon' or don't (Personally, I think the icon looks better, but that is a judgment call) OK out of the dialog Now the reader will have the option of double clicking on the icon to view the show. It can still be edited by right clicking on the icon and selecting edit, but this is difficult to limit and still keep all users able to open the show. Since the PPT is stored in the DOC, moving the file around will not affect the show.
