Hyperlink IN slideshow TO another ppt file
in [Powerpoint]

From: 29Sleepy on 28 Apr 2010 18:03 Recently had the hard drive replaced in my computer, and believe some personal settings were lost. Problem I'm having is: BEFORE: hyperlinks IN a .ppt TO other .ppt files would open target directly into slideshow mode. NOW: hyperlinks IN a .ppt TO other .ppt files open the target file in edit mode. Causes delay and disruption in meetings I run... Using .pps file extentions is an unreasonable work around due to the frequent use of the files.

Note that you don't have to change the extensions just to edit the files; you can simply start PPT first, then use the normal File Open command to open them as you would any regular PPT file. A bit more tedious than simply doubleclicking the files' icons, but once it's on the most-recently-used list, it's about as easy. As to why it's goofed up, though ... a few starter questions. What version of Office do you have? How did they rebuild your computer? From a backup or by reinstalling Office from scratch? Have you tried running Detect & Repair (or whatever it's called in your version of Office)? That will often sort out bunged file associations. ============================== PPT Frequently Asked Questions http://www.pptfaq.com/ PPTools add-ins for PowerPoint http://www.pptools.com/
