Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / August 2006hyperlinks not working in .pps
I'm a Mac OS 10.4.7, PowerPoint 2004 mac user. The hyperlinks I set up using "Slide..." do not work when the presentation is saved as a show, or as a preview the presentation. The "Next Slide", "Previous Slide", "First Slide", "End Show", "URL" on mouse clicks do work. Hello, Can you please provide a little more information such as the exact build of Office you're running and some steps so that we can reproduce the problem? For the first part, please provide the version and build # you see under PowerPoint > About PowerPoint. Also, go to your Microsoft Office 2004/Office folder, do a Command-I on the Microsoft Office file and report the version and build # listed there. As for steps, I'm looking for something like: 1. Start PowerPoint 2. Create n slides 3. Slide Show > Action Buttons > _____, draw a box 4. Hyperlink to: > Slide... ... ?. (Indicate how you are opening the file saved as show) etc. Also, do you have >1 monitor and if so, is one running in presenter view? Is your machine an Intel based Mac? If so, which model?

Here's how: Powerpoint 11.2.4 (060501) on a Powerbook G4 (OS 10.4.7) 1. Start Powerpoint 2. Create new file with 1 slide. 3. Insert picture (a PNG image) 4. Create autoshape (rectangle with rounded corners) over the top of the image 5. Colored autoshape fill. 6. Added text box over autoshape; colored text white 7. Right clicked on autoshape I just created; selected Action Settings. 8. Selected LINK TO> OTHER FILE, and selected a SWF file (set to open in Safari) located in the same folder as the PPT file. 9. Repeated steps 7-8 for the text box. 10. Saved file 11. Went to slide show mode to test link. Worked fine. 12. Closed PPT file, reopened file, and went to Slide show mode. Link wouldn't work. Reset link (Action settings), link works. Close file, reopen, link doesn't work. And on and on. Help! -Rick >> Hello, >> [quoted text clipped - 46 lines] > > -Rick Also, Office Build is 11.2.5 (060606) Hi Rick, Thanks for the info. Since you mention PowerBook G4, are you running w/2 monitors with 1 displaying presenter tools? If so, what if you quit PowerPoint, disconnect the 2nd monitor and have the OS re-detect the displays? (Go to System Prefs > Displays > Detect Displays). Corentin: Are you running w/2 monitors? What OS version are you running on?

What OS version are you running on? I am indeed running with 2 monitors (that's my default setup) and I always use the presenter view. I'm running 10.4.7 with the security update. Office 2004 is also up to date.

Nonetheless, I tried quitting PPT, disconnecting and reconnecting/detecting the external monitor and the problem persists. Hope this helps. -Rick > Can you please provide a little more information such as the exact build of > Office you're running and some steps so that we can reproduce the problem? I've received a similar report that was associated with the update from 11.2.4 to 11.22.5 (worked in 11.2.4, not in 11.2.5 and again going back to 11.2.4). So far, I've failed to reproduce the issue on my Mac (it works perfectly for hyperlinks to slides or http://).

How did you get 11.2.5? And more importantly, how do I revert to whatever was before 11.2.4?

How did you get 11.2.5? And more importantly, how do I revert > to whatever was before 11.2.4? PPT itself says v11.2.4, but I applied the whole 11.2.5 update. Not all components of Office see their version number updated every time. (I agree, these version numbers are confusing). Reverting back to previous versions would mean uninstalling Office and reinstalling it all over again. That could lead to some trouble with ENtourage (I believe it updates the database top a format that is not backward compatible).

Working last week fine. Installed new update. Links now not working. Clearly they broke soemthing in the latest download.

I'm still puzzled as to what caused that (especially since I can't manage to reproduce it).

I removed Office (using the Remove Office tool), reinstalled from the original disk and the links worked. Then I updated to 11.2.5 and the links didn't work. No other changes to files or OS. Alas, without the 11.2.5 update, I'm now getting a "Microsoft Framework" error. Saga continues.... Steve > > I have the same issue. Working last week fine.

I removed Office (using the Remove Office tool), I don;t uninstall Office often, but I'm not so sure the uninstaller would remove the pref files and the cache. DO you still have the problem if you run Office 11.2.5 from another user account on the same computer?

Alas, no joy. Hyperlinks do not work when using a new user account. I'm going to not worry about it any more and wait for Microsoft to realize that they've introduced an error. > I don;t uninstall Office often, but I'm not so sure the uninstaller > would remove the pref files and the cache.

I can't figure out what causes that :-( Anything special about your setup??

Nope, nothing non-standard. Mac G4 laptop with 10.4.7, 1G RAM, 14G available disk. Using the LCD screen. No weird add-ins loaded except devmode=YES for Dashboard. Hi there, I have also not been able to repro this problem...would any of you be willing to post (or email) your presentations so I could take a look at them? Thanks Nancy > Great idea. Alas, no joy.

Now I've added a non-working ".pps" file: "curriculumchart". Both files are located at http://homepage.mac.com/cdmacleod Also locate there is a file that contrary to all my expectations works: "nheyespeople" Thanks, Chris On 8/7/06 5:38 PM, in article 1154986717.828692.259950@i42g2000cwa.googlegroups.com, "Nancy Cho" <nancychomsft@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi there, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >>> would remove the pref files and the cache.
