I cretaed a website using PP and the website has links. When I click on the
link it opens the link, but in a 2nd window. Now, I have 2 windows open. What
I want is, when I click on the link, it opens that link in the SAME window,
having ONLY 1 window open. PLz help!
 
Use something other than PowerPoint to design you webpages. PowerPoint is
not designed for this type of application.

You would have to know how to go in and edit the html code.

Other than editing the HTML from PPT, no.

There are other ways of making HTML from PPT that give you more control over
this sort of thing though. Our PPT2HTML addin lets you determine whether to
open links in the same window, a second window or a new window for every link.

================================================
 
You would require a program something like FrontPage and the knowledge what
your looking for and make the required changes.

Look at the options that Steve R has recommended. although the program is
not free, yuou can try it out.

How do you edit?

When you create HTML from PPT, it creates a main html file and a folder full of
support files.

In the folder, there'll be an html file for each slide named "slide00001.htm"
and so on.

You'd open the html file for the slide you need to modify (use Notepad)

Look for the name of the file or url you linked to.

In the same general area of the code, you'll see _parent

Change that to _self

Save the file.

The link will open up in the same window as the slide. It's up to you to make
sure the user knows how to get BACK to the slide. The Back button works, of
course.
 
Is this PPT2HTML Free?

I forgot to mention something: while it's not free, there *is* a fully
functional free demo. It does everything the "real" software does, so if it
seems to fit the bill, you can give it a real workout at no cost.
