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.

Look at the following:
How do I directly refer to a slide within a presentation?
http://officeone.mvps.org/ppttips/refer_to_slide_in_presentation.html

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

I looked at 'How do I directly refer to a slide within a presentation?' and i
saved my ppt in .html. When i go to open ppt in .html and click on different
slides that address bar does not change at all. This is the address i see for
every slide:
C:\Documents and Settings\D0000000\Desktop\COD Training_files\frame.html

I must be doing something wrong by opening the ppt in internet explorer.

Thanks

You don't need to save the ppt in html to open it in Internet Explorer. Open
the .ppt file directly within Internet Explorer.

If you know VBA, you can get the slide ID by simpler means like executing
the following line of code:
ActivePresentation.Slides(8).SlideID
