Hyperlinks

[Guest]

Hi everyone, I have a big presentation of 500 slides, with between 10 and 30
hyperlinks on each slide. When i click on some hyperlinks after I have saved
the presentation and closed it down, then reopen it, the hyperlinks either
don't work or go to a wrong slide. All hyperlinks are inside the document,
and because it contains a few pictures, it is 10mb. I heard that the
hyperlink storage is only 64kb, can that be increased? Thanks a lot, Tom

There's a workaround here which you probably want to take a look at:
"Lost hyperlinks, hyperlinks link to wrong place, hyperlinks stop working"

I don't want to create several presentations, as i would have to link them
ALL again. Can you not just increase the storage? Thanks, Tom

Have you click on the "help with this" link? The steps on opening VBA are
written there. You will need to insert a module, then paste the code there.
Modify the hyperlink of your choice, and run the macro through action
settings.

Depending on which MS document you read and how you interpret it, the amount of
space given to storing hyperlinks is either half that, or 1/4 of that.

And can't be increased.

See the links others have pointed you at for workarounds.

You assign a shape's action setting to Run Macro
When you click the shape during a slide show, the macro runs, picks up the text
from the shape, converts that to a web link and launches it.

For your purposes, this may not be useful, since it requires that the text in
the shape be the path to the file you want to link to.

In addition, it doesn't do anything for links within presentations, and that's
the killer in your case. PowerPoint 2002/2003 store link info a bit
differently than earlier versions; links to external files aren't at risk from
the hyperlink storage limit bug.

Links between slides are, and this macro, near's I can tell, won't help with
that.

Bummer.
