I have created a pp presentation with hyperlinks to Word docs and PDF files
in PP2003. In presentation mode the links open up the ducuments, however, in
PP Show mode, although Word docs open up to the front, my pdf files open up
but they are behind the PP show. Does anybody know if this problem can be
rectified so that the pdf files open up in the same way as they do in
presentation mode?

First, make sure you're only clicking the links once. It only takes one click
to fire off a link; if you click twice, you might click on PPT while Reader or
another program is still waking up. That'll activate PPT again, meaning it'll
sit atop anything you've linked to.

Next, what version of Acrobat or Reader do you have? Do you have the latest
updates for it installed?
