See if adding the hyperlink to the text*box* as opposed to the text itself
does the trick.

To add to Echo's reply, if you are using the "slide title placeholder"
rather than an ordinary text box, you'll need to put a rectangle over the
title and apply the link to it. Then give the rectangle "no fill" and "no
line".

Otherwise (in cases where you want some text in a text box, not the whole
text box), you have to adjust the color scheme, and you're still stuck with
the underline.

Hello

It's a real b***h this approach to hyperlink formats. I don't see why we can't simply have full control over them?

If you use the text box approach it doesn't work if the text you are trying to link to is already inside a text box (check your page format).

The process is really weak when packaging for the web ie creating a .mht format file. The html that's generated tries to use the html map concept to recreate the idea of a text box but gets it hopelessly wrong.

What should be straightforward ie me, the user, controlling how my stuff appears, turns out to be an almost insoluble problem and something that's wasted nearly a day of my time.

When will the MS developers learn not to try and control things but to always allow the user to say "I'll do this myself, thank you"?

To quote John Langhans (the only person in this newsgroup that I know who
actually works for Microsoft):

Hello,

PowerPoint doesn't provide the functionality that you are looking for.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important
that PowerPoint provide this kind of functionality (without having to
resort to VBA or add-ins), don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR
OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it
is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc.
Remember
that 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 so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

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