Mr. Flask recently asked:
QUESTION: Dear Sir,
I have prepared a presentation on PowerPoint full of action buttons since the presentation is like a small menu linking to a lot of documents.
The issue I am finding is as follows:
I am copying this presentation including the files on a CD-ROM however, when I try to run this on the CD-ROM the links do not work. Till now i did not find a way of making a link as a relative address.
As a worksaround I linked them to an absolute address to d:\ as the CD-ROM however I'm finding a lot of issues with PCs not having drive D:\ as a CD-ROM.
Can you please help?

Hello Luigi, I have just subscribed to your newsletter and would like your help with a PP problem I am experiencing.
When I create a Hyperlink to an existing Word or Excel document and then run the slide show, I cannot get the hyperlink to consistently open the linked document to view on screen - i.e. it opens in the background and one has to exit the slideshow to view the linked document. This does not happen each time but I cannot work out what makes the difference. This is no good if one wants continuity with the presentation.
Many thanks in advance.
ANSWER: If another application (Word, Excel) is open in Windows, the hyperlink will open the requested document in that application, but wile leaving it in the background.
On the other hand, if the application is not open, then the hyperlink will open the document as a new active window, which is what you want!
N.B.: By providing only a few hints to him, Steve solved and answered his own question all by himself. Hats to Steve!
