Hello,

I've got URLs in my PowerPoint slides that I'd like to have launched
external to the PowerPoint viewer. The URLs take over the current instance
of Internet Explorer when clicked. This is bad. Exporting the slides to
..htm would be undesireable at this point as well. Any idea's how this can
be accomplished? Some script or macro may be okay.

Thanks,

Jeff

Try launching it via Run Program instead of as a link. Use this command line:

iexplore -new http://your_url.com/file.htm
