can't insert / edit screen tips

[Guest]

Hi
Using PPT 2000.

I have a presentation that links to other presentations via buttons. The
problem is that I want to edit the screentips for the buttons which works for
some of them, but won't work for others.

When I right click the button and choose "edit hyperlink" it takes me to the
action settings window, WHY? (screentip edit is not an option from here). For
other buttons choosing "edit hyperlink" takes me correctly to the edit
hyperlink window where I can change the screentip perfectly.

I have no idea what the difference is between the two types of
buttons/hyperlinks and why PPT is displaying two different windows for the
same action.

Thanks

I would guess that it has to do with the way you inserted the hyperlinks for
the buttons. If you used Insert/Hyperlink (or right-click Hyperlink), you'll
get the Hyperlink dialog. If you used Slide Show/Action Setting (or
right-click Action Setting), you'll get the Action Setting dialog.
