Without complex visual basic is there any way to hyperlink from an Excel 2007
cell, to slide number [whatever] in a Powerpoint presentation?
 
=HYPERLINK("C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\sample.ppt#13")

For the 13th slide

etc.
 
Duh, i never thought of doing it that way! I was thinking inside the box
(highlight a cell's text and click 'insert hyperlink'). It appears that
Gary's student is also a teacher - thanks! :-)
 
The suggested hyperlink syntax, when followed precisely, opens up the
powerpoint presentation, but does not display the target slide...it always
just displays the first slide, no matter what slide number is appended after
the "#". Could i be missing something?
 
You are correct. I am getting the same behavior in 2007.
2003 works just fine.
 
I will report this to Microsoft - might be in time for SP2 (I always think
the glass is half-full!)
