Echo S said:Did you select the arrow itself when applying the link, or did you click
inside the arrow? Inside just applies the link to the text, and if you
don't have text, well...
To make sure you've selected the entire object, click inside the arrow,
then hit Esc to select the arrow itself.
Additionally, if you don't have a fill color in the arrow, the link won't
work when you hover over anything but the edge.

when I right click it there is a option of going to the slide. any idea

activate the hyperlink in Normal/Edit view. Start up the slide show, and
your hyperlink will work.
