Unlimited links in PPT 2003?

[markpoyser]

I am currently developing PPT slides with PPT 2000. I have lots of
objects that I would like to have associated with external, web
addresses (URL). It is my understanding that there are only so many
links you can have with a PPT file developed with PPT 2000. I need to
have a total of 1000 links inserted.

Is it true that with a later version of PPT, like 2003, there is an
unlimited link capability? (i.e. Instead of having a fixed space for
URL text, there is a different schema.)

Also, are links inserted with 2003, if it has the unlimited capability,
something that are recognized by earlier viewers (e.g. Viewer 97).

The limitation has not been removed. You would be better off creating multiple
presentation files and then linking them seamlessly so that you aren't impacted
by the limit. See http://www.powerpointbackgrounds.com/powerpointlinking.htm
