hyperlinking to an object above a text field

[Gino]

In order to not have the dreaded underlined text in a hyperlink, I am placing
a transparent rectangle on top of the text which is the hyperlink object.
However, I want this transparent rectangle to be solid when returning to the
master slide so as to eliminate the text underneath it, but have not been
able to do this with the change colour palete.

Has anyone any solutions to this?

If this is not possible, can I at least have the text disappear when
returning back to the master slide instead of it simply changing colour?

You can have the text disapear but bear in mind the link will still work

Give the textbox an exit animation (you'll need XP onwards) and set it to
trigger when the transparent shape is clicked. If you want the link to be
dead too make the transparent shape exit too (still with the same trigger)

It's a good idea to post in either the Mac or PC groups, not both.
I've answered this in the Mac group.
