From: Befuddled on 11 Mar 2010 16:22 Thank you so much!!! Five different people tried to make this work and couldn't. I wasn't reading your comments correctly and just went to "actions" instead of "action links" at the bottom of the screen. After I put in the hyperlink and select, it went right to the power point slide. You have no idea how much time this will save me. Thank you again!!

I tried this also and for some reason 4 different slides came up, it was less cumbersome than minimizing power point, maximizing video, play video, etc., but the earlier response about the actions links is perfect. Thanks so much for helping. I appreciate it.
