Hyperlink to Powerpoint file
Advice would be appreciated as to why when I make a hyperlink to an existing
Powerpoint file it (the hyperlink in the document) opens up the file not as a "true" powerpoint file, that is, it can't be manipulated. The "view" menu option (and others) are not available in the menu bar, etc. Yet when I open the Powerpoint file independently, that is,not in Word as a hyerperlink, it is perfectly fine. thanks Nancy |

Hi Nancy,
What version of Word and what version of Powerpoint? Are you linking on a web page or within a Word document to a powerpoint presentation on a hard drive? Are you linking to a PPS file or a PPT file? ====== "Nancy in Oz" Nancy in wrote in message ...

Hi Bob
Thanks for your response. I'm using Office/Word/Powerpoint 2003. I'm linking within a Word document to a Powerpoint, .ppt file, both on my hard disk. However, both the Word document and the powerpoint file were initially made using probably Word 98 and I'm not sure but equivalent/similar earlier version of powerpoint. I have reverted back to my pc with these earlier versions (Word 98, powerpoint? ) and the same thing happens - this automatic display as a Web version of powerpoint. Look forward to your advice.
