MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / January 2007How to correct corrupt hyperlink?
I use a broad variety of hyperlinks in my presentations. Recently I noticed some of my actions buttons have "converted" thier intended action (i.e. hyperlink to slide 23) into a "mailto:my email address here" link, which, surprise surprise did not perform the expected action of calling for my email program. I've done the "Detect & Fix" to no avail. Any help out there? Much obliged, HRH_Abe > I use a broad variety of hyperlinks in my presentations.

I just helped another PPT user who had a presentation with exactly these symptoms. In that case it was because the Hyperlink Base for the presentation was set to a mailto:blablah@example.com url. Choose File, Properties and on the Summary tab, look at the Hyperlink Base text box. Remove any text in it, save the presentation and test your links again.
