Re: How do I change the default hyperlink viewer to pic. & fax vie



I have created the Power Point presentation in Power Point 2007 and have
created hyperlinks in the presentation. I am putting on a 6 hour class and
am hyperlinking images (.gif & .jpg) so I can better explain my points I am
trying to get across. I have quite a few hyperlinked text in the
presentation. I created the presentation on my desktop pc using XP (which
works great in XP) and PowerPoint 2007 but I need to put it on my laptop that
has Vista Home Premium and PowerPoint 2007. Again, the links open up in XP
using the Windows Picture & Fax Viewer but when I open the links up using
Vista on my laptop it uses Internet Explorer to open up the image links. I
know that Vista does not contain the Picture & Fax Viewer anymore, it is now
Windows Photo Gallery. I like the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer because it
opens the images at full zoom where the Photo Gallery open up the images in
their design resolution sizes so then you have to mess around with zooming
in/out to display it nicely. The Vista Internet Explorer option keeps
opening up a new tab for each image link opened. So you basically have to
Exit out of Internet Explorer each time it opens an image up in it or if you
get around 5 open tabs, it slows down and malfunctions, not what you need in
the middle of a 6 hour presentation. Where as the Picture and Fax Viewer
replaces the opened image link with the next one when the link is initiated
leaving you with one viewer open instead of many internet explorer tabs. I
need to find a solution quickly here... Any advice would be great!

How did you create the hyperlinks?

What are you trying to achieve by hyperlinking to images?

Using Vista Home Premium with Office 2007. I have created a PowerPoint
presentation with many hyperlinked images but when I view the hyperlinks,
the
default image viewer is Internet Explorer. I am not able to change the
viewer to anything else. I have already tried setting the default image
viewer to something else in Vista. Works from Windows explorer but not
from
PowerPoint? Any ideas????
