From: Bill on 4 Jan 2006 23:10 I get the message "cannot download the information you requested" when I try to open hyperlinks in powerpoints, that includes new and old powerpoints. ??? I believe I am doing it correctlly and I know that I did it in the past correct since the older powerpoints worked fine.

Need more info: What version of PPT? What do the hyperlinks point to? Perhaps the files aren't there any longer. And how ARE you doing it? You don't say, so we've no way of knowing whether you're doing it right or not. <g> ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================
From: Bill on 6 Jan 2006 16:48 I have Office 2003. I was hyperlinking to web sites on the new presentation as well as the older ones I tested. I tried two ways, first I directly linked-when to the web site, copied the address and pasted it on my slike, second I right clicked on and opened the insert hyperlink box, clicked existing file or web page, typed a text, put the web page on the bottom. niether worked. I done these before, what bothers me is the older ones do not work. I opened the program on a different computer and things worked fine.

From: Steve Rindsberg on 7 Jan 2006 02:44 Give it another try. After you get the error message, choose Start, Run and type the full http://whatever.whosit.com/etc.htm url into the box and click OK. Does your browser start up and display the page? In article <C851426D-8AB8-4EC0-A34C-AC504D481444(a)microsoft.com>, Bill wrote: > I have Office 2003.

I did that and the site opened when I clicked OK, it did not open in the PowerPoint. I went to our desktop where we also have PowerPoint 2003 and it worked fine, I also tried on my work computer (I'm a teacher) and it worked fine???? "Steve Rindsberg" wrote: > Give it another try.
