I create PowerPoint presentations that simulate web site demonstrations.
There are dozens of hyperlinks in the presentations. I am trying to find
instructions on creating a macro that will automate the process up to the
point of inputting the destination address for the hyperlink.

Where can I find such a macro or at least a macro that incorporates user
input?


I have scoured the web and other reference materials and cannot find the
answer to this question. Help!

I don't know if this is what you want, but I have lots of macros that
incorporate rudimentary user input at my site:

Steve - I want to select an existing hyperlink or action setting, select
"Slide", select the correct slide to link, the click "OK". The user input
would be the selection of the slide. I would like a similar macro to change
an existing link to a slide in a different PowerPoint deck. Does this make
sense?

Thank you in advance for your help!

David - I will check this out. I cruised by your site a couple days ago, but
did not look at it in depth. Thanks for the suggestion!

Steve - I want this in edit mode, not the slide show. I want the macro to
take me to the dialog box that selects the slide, "Hyperlink to Slide". This
is where the macro would end. Currently, it takes 3 clicks to get to this
dialog box once the action setting box is highlighted. My presentations
contain over 100 hyperlinks, so saving a couple clicks is a pretty big deal.

The other macro I am looking for would also be in the edit mode and would
bring up the dialog box "Hyperlink to Other PowerPoint Presentation". That
would be the end of the macro.
