Hi,

I made a presentation, in which i used pictures/buttons to link to other
slides.
My client checked the presentation and in some point those links didn't
work: each click moved him randomly to another slide, a wrong one. He also
check it in 2 ohter computers.
I checked it again and it worked perfect, and so did3 of m friends. I
couldn't find any reason why this happens.
Does anyone know what could cause it?

thanks

maximum 11 links in a slide, other slides has 1 to 3 links.
However, meanwhile i found out that this problem occurs only with PP Viewer,
and I guess that's what my client is using.
I also must say that the links that don't work are transparent shapes i
located over certain areas in ht slide, which has an image background I made.

How can I overcome it?
Thanks
Keren

You mentioned that the links are applied to transparent shapes; nice detective
work ... that's a bug in the viewer. Try making the shapes 99% instead of 100%
transparent.

If that doesn't help:

Hi Steve,

Actually i made the shapes with no fill, so changing to 100% transparent
fill did the work.
another problem that appeared is in small text box containing one letter
only, the PP Viewer didn't maintain those letters centered.
Is there anyway to resolve it too?

Thanks

It may be a font substitution problem. If the font you chose isn't available on the
computer playing back the presentation, it'll substitute a different font, one that
it has. That can make text jump around a bit.

If the text is left justified but visually centered above something else, font
changes will make it go off-center.

If you make the text box center justified, then even though the size of the text
changes because of font substitutions and the like, it'll stay centered.
