MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / October 2007hyperlink doesn't work
I have powerpoint 2003. I want to create a hyperlink to access a hidden slide. I highlighted the text and rightclick to create the hyperlink. When the hyperlink dialogue box appears I selected the option 'Place in this Document' option and clicked on the slide i wanted to show the link in. (This is all in the same presentation). When i replay the slide show i'm not able to view the hyperlink i created. What have i done wrong? the colour of the hyperlink is different from the rest of the text so i know it didn't work. I need to be able to access the hyperlink whilst i'm running the slide show as i'm showing it to 2 different groups of people during my presentation. Please help! It makes things much easier to follow if you stick to one post per question When you highlighted the text are you sure you selected the text and not the text box itself? Did the text become underlined when you added the link?

If the problem is a comma in the title just removing the comma does't always work. This is because powerpoint "remembers" the old address for the link with the comma, you should remove the comma, remove the hyperlink and remake it.. You can use this to advantage because once the link works you can probably put the comma back.

That is why i'm baffled, there must be something wrong. This should be quite simple but i don't understand why it's not working.
