Hyperlinks won't work using Hierarchy Boxes
in [Powerpoint]
|
From: BryanC on 14 May 2008 18:25 I'm making a presentation with hierarchies, and when I make the words within the boxes into hyperlinks, they do nothing. The mouse turns into a pointing finger when it hovers over the word like it's supposed to, but when I click it nothing happens.
From: Lucy Thomson on 14 May 2008 20:45 Hi Bryan What are the links linking to? If it's another file, is it opening behind the current presentation maybe? If you let us know your version, exactly what you are hoping to achieve and your steps so far I'm sure we'll get you fixed up :-) Lucy -- Lucy Thomson PowerPoint MVP MOS Master Instructor www.aneasiertomorrow.com.au "BryanC" <BryanC(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:D1263F88-EE5F-4F3C-9337-C67061DF1EB4(a)microsoft.com... > I'm making a presentation with hierarchies, and when I make the words > within > the boxes into hyperlinks, they do nothing.

From: BryanC on 15 May 2008 11:20 I'm trying to link it to other slides within the same powerpoint presentation. The version is MS Powerpoint 07 from MS Office Professional Plus. I'm trying to make a hierarchy tree with 6 levels. 6 levels is too much to put on one slide, so I have a three level hierarchy one one slide, and I'm trying to design it so if you click one of the lower boxes (level 3), the presentation then moves to another slide where that box is the top box of a three level hiearchy (levels 3 to 6). I got around it by making transparent boxes over the hierarchy boxes I wanted to link, and hyperlinking those transparent boxes. However, I plan on having many boxes to hyperlink and it would be a pain to continue doing this, especially if things moved around. Yesterday I downloaded the service pack that was available I believe in 12/07, but it didn't do anything. Any other suggestions?

From: Lucy Thomson on 15 May 2008 19:12 Hi Bryan Ah yes, SmartArt. You can't hyperlink to bits of a SmartArt object. Rubbish, isn't it? There are 3 ways you can approach this: put boxes over the objects (as you have discovered) and use them for linking; create the diagram yourself using autoshapes & connector lines (which you can always copy & paste to use whole diagram again); copy entire SmartArt and Paste Special as an EMF onto a new slide and then ungroup twice which will give you individual 'bits' (can get really messy....). Which approach is appropriate very much depends on the project. Someone else may have another, simpler way.
