Link

[Bahman]

I have published a presentation online. The last slide
has a link. This link takes the viewer to a htm document.
The htm document is present on the server, but the link
does not work. It shows: This page cannot be displaed.
WHen I look at the url of the link, I notice that the
original url is changed to something else with a 20%...
in between. No matter how many times I correct it, when
it is published, it changes again. Any help?

Bahman,

This sounds like you have used a 'space' character (or other non alphabetical or numerical character). The %20 is used
instead of a space.

So, for example instead of using
http://www.my website.com

use
http://www.my-website.com

URL links do not like spaces, they are considered delimiters, so inline
spaces are converted to "%20". This is normal, this is good.

I would check on other reasons for the link not working.
Check your network status, timeouts, etc.

You may also want to consider changing the spaces in the URL_
link_to_underline_charators.
