Object Hyperlink

[Guest]

With a typical text hyperlink, it is underlined by default. is there a way
to have it not be underlined? is this a setting within the application or
within the presentation?
Or
Can an object such as an autoshape be added with text and the object be used
as a hyperlink? i would prefer a macro for this so that i can write code to
dim the color of the object's text so that i know it has been clicked. my
goal is to have text, within an object autoshape, be used as a hyperlink, not
be underlined, and dim when clicked. TIA P.S. what is the VBA code to say,
go to slide # "SLIDE NAME HERE"

You can hyperlink to most things,

Place a transparent box over the text and set the action setting on this to
hyperlink ie no underlined text. You dont need to use vba to dim the text
simply set an animation triggered by the click on the transparent shape.

That should be "hyperlink WITH"

what about a macro to navigate to another slide. can you name slides like
you name ranges in excel? For future reference.

Slides can be named. See Example 8.7 on my Web site:

Once you name a slide, it is slightly convoluted to go there, but it can
work:

ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.GotoSlide _
ActivePresentation.Slides(slideName).SlideIndex

Also, you might check out this entry from the PPT FAQ about getting rid
of the underline in hyperlinks:
