Links (linking to slides) get messed up!

Hello everyone!

I have this really frustrating problem with Powerpoint 2004 (for Mac):
• I have a slideshow with 45 slides
• I have made a website-like navigation to it. Text links link to different
slides on my slideshow.
• The links work fine when I have just made the links, but when I start
Powerpoint the next time, all the links point to slide 1 (instead of the
slides they should be pointing to).

So my question is that is there anyway to solve this problem or is Microsoft
selling us a product for which they claim that can do something and in
reality it cant?
 
One more idea. I'm not totally sure of my facts here BTW!

I think that the stored hyperlink detail (limit 32K ish) includes the title
of slides jumped to. ie long title = more space

Could you hyperlink to dummy slides with short titles eg "a1" and then auto
transition to the "real target"?

Did that answer the question / help?

Thanks for the help!

I tried splitting the file into about 10 different shows but it didnt work.

I'll throw away the hyperlinks and just be done with it. :)

If what John said does not help, you may want to ask the same question in
the Mac PowerPoint NG.

Run. You've fallen in among Windows users. RUN!!!

Though the name doesn't make it obvious, this is the group for Windows PPT
users. There's also Public.Mac.Office.PowerPoint for Mac folk. You might want
to post your question there.

But what you're seeing seems to be a problem with the most recent updates from
MS for 2004. Everyone on the Mac group who's had the problem has been able to
solve it by reinstalling but NOT applying the latest patch.
