hyperlinks to external url not working

[Yolande]

I have created a 2 page document in the latest MS Ppt (2007). I have created
the hyperlinks correctly but in the prompt box, it only offers 'bookmark' and
not the usual 'target'. If i highlight the word and select open hyperlink,
the hyperlink will open correctly, but this does not help those the document
is sent to.

How can I make the hyperlinks work when the mouse scrolls over?

The hyperlink will only show/ work when u run the presentation as a slide
show. If the people you are sending it to cannot open the hyperlink it might
be related to where the source for the hyperlink is stored. Could you
elaborate a bit more?

Put the hyperlinked document into the same folder as your PowerPoint presentation before you create the hyperlink. Re-create the hyperlink. then send both the presentation and the hyperlinked document to your recipients.

Thanks,
The hyperlinks are to websites (my own) not to files as such. I have the
source files but I thought I could do it directly to the website page. Eg.

How do I bring the hyperlinked document (html) into a powerpoint file?

Which prompt box? What do you do to get it and where did you see "target"?

In edit mode, you can't. As n00b mentioned, mouseovers and clicks only work in
slide show view.

To add a mouseover that works there, select the text you want to apply the link
to, then on the Insert tab, Links group, click Action to open the old familiar
Action Settings dialog box. Add your hyperlink there (in the mouseover tab).
