Hyperlink not working when pointing to place in document

[Bonnie]

I have an agenda in my presentation and when I try to hyperlink within the
same document it does not give me a view of the page I am trying to hyperlink
to. Also, when I try to click on the link, it does not take me anywhere.
HELP!

Draw a shape (let's say a rectangle) over the actual link, with no border
line.
Link this shape to where you want.
Finish with 99% transparencie on the shape.
Does that help?

Make sure that there is no comma in the title of the slide to which the
hyperlink points.

Best regards,

This sounds like the comma problem. If the slide you are linking to has a
comma in the title, the hyperlink will not work. Either edit the title to
remove the comma, or duplicate the title, remove the comma in the original,
and move the original off-screen. With the second method you will still see
the title you want to see, but what PowerPoint thinks of as the title
(without the comma) will not be shown.
