How do I make a hyperlink active in normal view

[dougebowl]

I know how to add hyperlinks to my presentation. The problem I am having is while in "Normal" view, the hyperlink does not work. It seems that you have to be viewing the presentation in "Slide Show" mode for the hyperlinks to work.

Is there a way to make the hyperlinks active in "Normal" view. I understand that you can right-click and select open hyperlink and they will work. But, it would be a lot less instruction to the end-user if the hyperlinks worked by just left clicking them like you can in Word or Excel.

Thanks in advance for you help!!



Thanks,
Doug

Hyperlinks only work on click in show mode in PowerPoint Doug. Unless you are prepared to write a complex AddIn there's no way round this.

There is a way - in Normal view right-click the link and select "Open Hyperlink"
