Merging presentations keeping Hyperlinks
I had to merge arround 7 presentations into 1 and had to use a template for this.
I could not find a way to copy and pase or instert them (I did use the reuse slides option) keeping the Hyperlinks between slides the way they were, I had to change each Hyperlink independently again to the correct slide (e.g. one slide with a Hyperlink to slide 32 suddenly had a link to slide 66 and I had to change it back to the correct one). I'm gonna have to merge several presentations on a a daily basis and this just takes too much time. Is there a solution? |

Not a simple one because in each presentation internally the unique slide ID is used to direct the hyperlink. HOWEVER these are only unique within a single presentation so thet when you merge there would be duplicates. PowerPoint cannot accept this and creates new IDs which sadly will mess up internal links.
It is possible to write code to tag slides with the correct destination before you merge and then remake the links after the merge. Not simple though. Shyam has an AddIn http://skp.mvps.org/ihf.htm#.Vwkf-vkrK70 that tries to sort out the links and somewhere we do too (but right now I cannot find it!) EDIT I found our AddIn drop me an email if you want to try it (contact page on www.pptalchemy.co.uk) Last edited by JohnWilson; 04-10-2016 at 09:58 AM. |
