Slide titles causing havoc?

[paulri]

I was having problems clicking on hyperlinks (to another slide in th
same presentation). I saw that (in the Edit Hyperlink dialog box) tha
the name of the slide began with the first text on the slide, which wa
(A)--with the parentheses. I took out that and converted it to 1. Th
link worked.

Was this just a sheer coincidence, or is there something ppt doesn'
like about linking to slides with (x) as the title? I use powerpoin
almost exclusively for presentations that contain such links and I'
like to find out about this if in fact this is the case

Hi

I'm not sure about ()'s but ,'s are a problem:
Lost hyperlinks, hyperlinks link to wrong place, hyperlinks stop working

Links from a title with coma (for example) won't work.
Take off the coma, put the link and add the coma. That will work
