Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / September 2007Max. Number of Hyperlinks?
I am using PowerPoint 2000 with a very large presentation with many Hyperlinks, mostly to other slides but many also to Internet links. Recently, some of them are not working. I correct them on the live presentation and get them to work then, when saved and re-loaded the same ones do not work again. I wonder, is there a maxiumum of hyperlinks allowed which I have perhaps exceeded? If so, can I increase this and if so, how? > I wonder, is there a maxiumum of hyperlinks allowed which I have perhaps > exceeded? Yes ... PPT allows for 32kb of space, used to store hyperlinks and other (unspecified by MS) stuff. Once that fills up, links get unreliable. Lost hyperlinks, hyperlinks link to wrong place, hyperlinks stop working http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00401.htm Troubleshooting Link Problems: links break, sounds/movies that don't play, etc. http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00668.htm > If so, can I increase this and if so, how?

The main trick will probably be keeping the "target" of the links as short as possible. Every link to another slide includes the title of the slide you're linking to; every character counts against that 32k or less limit. If you're really up against it, you can duplicate the title text placeholder on each slide, leave the dupe in place but drag the actual placeholder off the slide and edit it to something very short, even just the slide number. If you see your new shortened titles in the outliner, you know you've got it right. > > > I wonder, is there a maxiumum of hyperlinks allowed which I have perhaps > > > exceeded?
