I've got a situation where I have 6 six different powerpoint presentations.
One of them is a "frontpage presentation" which is opened by hte viewer and
inside the presentation there is supposed to be links in to those five other
presentations.

I got it working by using actions buttons (If that's the English name since
I use Finnish as my office's language). But then there is a problem when I
burn the whole pakkage in to the CD that the links to the files aren't same
anymore than when making the action buttons.

Hyperlinks can also be used in this but I don't know how to make the links
work from CD.

If someone has the answer for my problem I'd be very grateful!

The key to moving presentations with hyperlinks is to make the links
relative, instead of absolute.

To do this, you will need to place everything (including sounds, linked
presentations, and movies) that will be referenced to into a single folder,
then delete and redo the links or action settings.

FYI

You or your client will have PowerPoint on the computer as the viewer does
not support hyperlinks. See my posts above.

Not quite so fast there, buckaroo. See my replies. ;-)
