MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2008Linked objects inserted in single file, cause meltdown!
Ofver the last couple of weeks trying to insert another powerpoint file as a linked object closes PP and get Microsoft error message. This has never been a problem in the past and the same error happens on multiple laptops with varied files, so wondering if a recent update is causing this? Anyone having similar problems or any ideas? Liz Maybe if you quote the error message and tell us the version of PowerPoint Are you trying to insert files made with an old version?

Instead of inserting linked files, what about adding hyperlinks that you can click to launch the external PPT files? This'd probably work reasonably well for screen shows, but if you're assembling documents for printing, it goes down in flames. > > > The error message is a "Microsoft PowerPoint has encountered a problem and > > > needs to close.

We run screenshows at conferences, with header slides interspersed with speaker presentations which they run from a laptop on a lectern so while I can see how you could insert a hyperlink, but not how I get get it to run in screenshow just be hitting enter?

Quitting that show at the end would return you to the main menu. I don't know how you could do it by hitting Enter, but a mouseclick would do the job ... or I think you could tab from link to link and press Enter to activate it. > Don't think this will work, or am I being dense?
