I am leading a discussion using a "jeopardy" style slide. When I link to the
slide, and then link back to the board, the original link I clicked doesn't
continues to show as UNvisited. However if I stay on the slide for 60 seconds
and then return to the main slide the link will show as visited. Any ideas on
how to speed up the change?
 
Hi Big A

What version are you using? And I take it you mean hyperlinked text doesn't
change colour, unless you stay on the other slide for 60 seconds?

Hi Lucy,

Version is 2007, and you are correct...the hyperlinked text doesn't change
color, unless I stay on the other slide for 60 seconds.
 
Hi Big A

The hyperlinks not changing colour in 2007 is a known but intermittent bug
in 2007. And, of course, intermittent bugs are the hardest to resolve :-(.
Hopefully your finding on the 60 second thing will help to narrow down what
causes the issue, so thank for sharing. I'm just sorry I don't have an
answer for you.

One workaround is to link to the text box rather than the text and have it
hyperlink and change colour (emphasis animation) on click. I think John has
a tutorial here:
