Here's the situation:

I am hosting a .ppt on a website. When I click on that
presentation and choose to, instead of saving to my hard
drive, open it, the presentation opens in an Explorer
window.

Here's the tricky part. There are links to websites in
that presentation. When I click one of those links, it
opens in the same window in which I am trying to view my
presentation. Is there any way, when I click the
hyperlink, to have it open up a new Explorer window? I am
not able to right click and choose that option.


Many thanks!

christine.

Hello,

PowerPoint doesn't provide the functionality that you are looking so that
if you navigate away from the PowerPoint slide during the viewing of a HTML
slide show, you can easily navigate back to the presentation. However, if
you want to add this capability to your HTML presentation, you can manually
modifying the HTML output from PowerPoint, after the fact.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important that
PowerPoint provide some additional options for controlling the target
window for hyperlinks (or other hyperlink, HTML presentation options or
features), don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please)
to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
