Hyperlink failure if powerpoint is saved to network share
Using PowerPoint 2002, a slide contains a hyperlink to a
file on a network share. The slideshow works properly until the powerpoint file itself is saved to a network share. This changes the hyperlink text to include ../ at the begining of the URL. Also all \ characters are changed to /. The resulting error states that "THE ADDRESS OF THE SITE IS NOT VALID" when you try to view the file indicated in the hyperlink. If this same presentation file is saved to a local hard drive, the link is automatically corrected back to the original file location in the hyperlink. It will now work. Please let me know if you confirm the same problem and find a fix for it. Walter Pietrowski |
