On our Intranet, it is not uncommon to have a web page link to a
particular page in a ppt file. We do that by creating links
to ....."presentation.ppt#42" to get to page 42. It works great.
Some of our employees have been upgraded to Office 2007 and these
links no longer work. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone found
a fix or workaround?

Thanks.

Hi Ben,

I found that presentation.pptx#<slidenumber> and
presentation.ppt#<slidenumber> does not work but
presentation.ppsx#<slidenumber> and presentation.pps#<slidenumber> does
work. The .ppsx and .pps varieties takes me directly to that slide in a
slide show. The .pptx and .ppt varieties opens the presentation file in
PowerPoint at slide 1 always.

Hi Chirag,

Thanks, but for some reason we did not see the same results. When we
created a PPS file and linked to it, I was able to get to the proper
page with Office 2003, but not 2007.

Our solution is likely going to be to create a PDF which acts more
predictably across platforms & versions. For this particular case, I
think it will work well.
