Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / April 2006Powerpoint Slideshow File
I have a .pps file on a server. This file, when opened on the server will allow me to link to another file, but when I save it to my desktop or attach it to an outlook email, the .pps file will open, but the link won't. Can you tell me what I need to do to correct this? Thanks! Chances are that the link breaks when you move the file. Either the links are relative links (generally links to other files in the same folder as the original) and the other files didn't move with the original. Or the links are absolutely links (including complete path information for the other files) in which case that path might not be valid on the computer to which you downloaded it. The advice from the PPT FAQ is largely for Windows, but some of it applies: Sounds/Movies don't play, images disappear or links break when I move or email a presentation http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00155.htm --David  SignatureDavid M.
