Re: Broken hyperlinks within single presentation

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry


ID is unique but the index and title can change. If you want them to appear
in your hyperlink box then that's why theyre included (maybe!!)

Hyperlink to slide ID 258 doesnt quite work.

You gotta wonder why the sub-address contains title information, you would
think the slideID and index (both of which I assume are unique) would be
enough.

Hi Dale

Internal hyperlinks are stored in a three partsub address

"SlideID,Slide Index,Title"
the ID is used to hyperlink so naming slides wont help

The commas in the sub address are why a comma in the title confuses things--

No, Steve, the problem is in the PPT.

Shawn may have a point. I believe some of the new titles do have commas,
and I'll take a look at that in the morning.

Is the hyperlink to the slide #, the slide index, the slide title, or the
slide name. I have a number of graph slides and some with nothing but
pictures that don't have a title. When I look at them in the hyperlink
dialog, it shows a slide # (my guess is that this is the sequence in which
the slides were added to the presentation, not their index). Will naming
the slide accomplish anything?

Are the links breaking in a PPT show or in some other situation? For
example,
if you change the order of the presentation or add/delete slides, links
will
often break in PDFs you've made from the presentation using Adobe Acrobat.

Is that the problem?

I have a number of text shapes that I am using like command buttons to
hyperlink from slide to slide within my presentation. Some of these
"buttons" just move forward and backword, but others jump around to allow
the
user to drill up and down within the briefing. It seems like when I
change
the title of the slide, the hyperlink breaks, and I have to rebuild it.

I thought that if I named the slide (actually set the name property of
the
slide), that might be displayed in the hyperlink dialog window, so that I
could use the "name" in the hyperlink, rather than the title.
Unfortunately,
that does not appear to be working.

Anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong, or how to make this process
easier?
