Hi, This is a pretty detailed post...hopefully someone will have input. To
begin with I have only very basic experience with HTML or programming, so if
you do have some ideas and it requires knowing either of them try to dumb it
down a little if at all possible. . .

I'm updating my PowerPoint Design portfolio and uploading it to my website.
One problem I'm encountering is when I use an action button on my
introduction page to hyprlink to a new page, it opens in a new browser
window. Can I fix that in PowerPoint so that it opens in the same browser
window? If so do I need to use an HTML editor or or is that a user side
issue? The reason I'm curious is because I have music playing on the intro
page and when I link from there to the new page, I want the music to stop
but it keeps playing because the Intro page remains open.

This brings up another issue regarding "stopping the music on the next mouse
click". . . .why the music wont' stop when I click the action button
confuses me. It will stop if I click on the page a SECOND time, but it's
set to stop on NEXT mouse click and doesn't. It's as if it ignores the
command to "stop on next click" because the first click on the action button
has another command associted with it, . . .to launch a new page. Shouldn't
it beable to do both, stop the music and launch the new page?

Is this making any sense? Does anyone have any input?
Much appreciated.
Thanks,

Justin
 
For the hyperlink, maybe try
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00428.htm I know Michael has a nice
sample/tutorial about publishing to the web, and that FAQ links to it.

Pretty sure you'll need to edit the HTML for the link, and I'm also
pretty sure you can set it to open in the same window, but I have no
idea how to do that off the top of my head. :-)

As for the sound, you might also be able to find that in the HTML. Not
sure why the HTML would be picking up that "next mouse click" as a
second one, but I'm sure it's got something to do with how it's
interpreting that animation setting in PPT.

I know that's not a lot of help. Sorry, HTML's just not my area.
