I have a similar problem - except that I have 117 slides (all organizational
charts) with one or two hyperlinks/slide + approx 25 links on the template
page.
I have boxes with text hyperlinked. It did not help to remove a bunch on the
slides in general. It did not help to remove the link from the textbox and
then place a rectangle (99% invisible) and try linking it. I can already tell
if it will work or not since when I am in the hyperlink dialogue box the
slide I try to link to gets no thumbnail preview - if I however try to link
to a slide with a preview it works!
That would sort of indicate that the links memory is not full.
However I have removed those slides and recreated the slides but I still
can't link to them. Irritating since this is the last links I have to fix and
the customer is urgently waiting for this presentation.
You have the comma problem. The slide titles you are trying to link to have
commas in them. PowerPoint can't handle that (I won't make a derisive
comment about why this problem hasn't been resolved since being introduced
in PowerPoint 97). Remove the commas from the slide titles and then link
again. If you really want the commas there, there are ways to bring them
back (some users have reported that simply putting the commas back after
linking will work; alternatively, you can move the real slide title without
the commas off the viewable portion of the slide and put a "fake" title in
its place).
