Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / December 2006Missing Hyperlinks
We have used Jeopardy Powerpoint slide shows where the main slide hyperlinks to multiple slides within the same slideshow. Last year this worked fine. This year we have made two changes: we are now on Mac OS 10.4.7 (last year it was 10.3.9) and we have upgraded our MS Office Software. We have Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac - Standard Edition. We are on version 11.2.4 (060501) for Powerpoint. What is happening this year is that we insert the hyperlink and the slide show runs fine--it goes to the links. Then we exit Powerpoint and get back in, it still runs fine. We restart our computer, open Powerpoint, open the file and all the links have disappeared. When we insert the links, we are selecting "Document" and browsing to find the slide to which we want to link. If the link is put on a graphic with actions mouseclick, it stays but that doesn't work for Jeopardy where you need to know which selections you have already made. Can anyone help? Hi Suz, Some hyperlinking problems were introduced into PowerPoint 2004 during an update. The two solutions that ought to work: 1. Install the latest Office update. This ought to be all you need to do. However, if that doesn't work then try 2. Uninstall Office using the Uninstall program in the Office folder on your hard drive. Then re-install Office but do NOT apply the updates. -Jim Gordon Mac MVP Quoting from "Suz" <smoskwa@saratoga.mornet.org>, in article 1166123207.064432.265080@t46g2000cwa.googlegroups.com, on [DATE: > We have used Jeopardy Powerpoint slide shows where the main slide > hyperlinks to multiple slides within the same slideshow.

SignatureJim Gordon Mac MVP MVPs are not Microsoft Employees MVP info http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ We have installed the latest update and it does not fix the problem. We cannot uninstall and install the original because we use Entourage as well and this update upgraded the Entourage database. If we reinstall, we will not be able to access our email history and that would be worse than this problem. Was the latest update supposed to fix this problem? I had read on this newsgroup yesterday that a Microsoft employee was going to submit a "bug" report. I saw evidence, after submitting my report, of multiple people using this software that have the same problem. I would like to know if the bug report was submitted and, if so, what is the status of that bug fix? Suz > Hi Suz, > [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > MVPs are not Microsoft Employees > MVP info http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Hi, Suz, I was one of those who suffered mightily with the loss of hyperlinks. For me, and I think for others, the fix came through with the Office upgrade to 11.3. Even so, I had to rebuild hyperlinks in some (but not all) of my PowerPoint presentations. Now, everything works well.

I do have version 11.3 and the links still are missing for us when I have them in a table. However, if I use textboxes that are not in a table; they do appear to work now. So we will have to re-do our Powerpoint Jeopardy templates but at least there is a way to get them to work. I still think Microsoft has some work to do to put this back the way it was when it worked! Is there someone from Microsoft who could comment please. Suz > Hi, Suz, > [quoted text clipped - 68 lines] > >> MVPs are not Microsoft Employees > >> MVP info http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ |
