I use a broad variety of hyperlinks in my presentations. Recently I noticed
some of my actions buttons have "converted" thier intended action (i.e.
hyperlink to slide 23) into a "mailto:my email address here" link, which,
surprise surprise did not perform the expected action of calling for my email
program.

I've done the "Detect & Fix" to no avail.

Any help out there?

Much obliged,

I just helped another PPT user who had a presentation with exactly these
symptoms. In that case it was because the Hyperlink Base for the presentation
was set to a mailto:[email protected] url.

Choose File, Properties and on the Summary tab, look at the Hyperlink Base text
box. Remove any text in it, save the presentation and test your links again.

Better?
