How do I directly refer to a slide within a presentation?

You need to find out the SlideID for your slide 8. The format is filename
followed by # and the slide ID.

Hello,

I have been at this for hours and hours and i still cant figure this out
so
any advice would be helpful.

I am trying to create a hyperlink in Word 2007 (.docx) to a specific power
point (.pptx) slide (slide 8 titled Award, to be exact). So i have the
hyperlink created and i can get to the power point but it always opens the
first slide. Here are the different hyperlinks i have used and they all
open
the first slide (assume the Word doc and the PPT are both on the desktop).
* You cannot click the Bookmark button in the 'Edit Hyperlink' screen
because it gives you an error.

C:\Documents and Settings\00000000\Desktop\Powerpoint Title.pptx#8.
C:\Documents and Settings\00000000\Desktop\Powerpoint Title.pptx#8
C:\Documents and Settings\00000000\Desktop\Powerpoint Title.pptx#8. Award
C:\Documents and Settings\00000000\Desktop\Powerpoint
Title.pptx#8slidenumber,slideindex
C:\Documents and Settings\00000000\Desktop\Powerpoint
Title.pptx#8,slidenumber

All the websites i found keep saying that .pptx#8,slidenumber is the work
around (since the bookmark button gives you the error) but this is not
obviously not correct.

Thank you in advance for any information.
