Using Relative Links Vs. Absolute Ones In A Powerpoint Presentation
Mr. Flask recently asked:
QUESTION: Dear Sir,
I have prepared a presentation on PowerPoint full of action buttons since the presentation is like a small menu linking to a lot of documents.
The issue I am finding is as follows:
I am copying this presentation including the files on a CD-ROM however, when I try to run this on the CD-ROM the links do not work. Till now i did not find a way of making a link as a relative address.
As a worksaround I linked them to an absolute address to d:\ as the CD-ROM however I'm finding a lot of issues with PCs not having drive D:\ as a CD-ROM.
Can you please help?

How To Manage Links To Other Files When Converting A Presentation To Web/HTML
Rashid Mahmood asked:
QUESTION: "Hi Sir,
I have read some of your articles and these are very informative, in fact in my view MasterView is the best site for the problems related to PowerPoint.
I consider myself an advanced user of PowerPoint and I use Windows XP.
I am facing some problem relating to saving the file as a web page, I will be really thankful if u can help me.
Here I try to explain my problem. Let's suppose I have two Power Point files:
File A
File B
Both Files have 2 slides each.
Now I give a link from slide No1 of File A to slide No 2 of File B and vice versa. I save Both Files as FileA.ppt and File B.ppt hyperlinks work well in Power Point slide show. After that I transferred it into html by saving both files as a web page, so now I have FileA.html and File B.html.
Now when I open the html version of File A in Internet Explorer (i.e. FileA.html) and click the hyperlink (that should take me to the slide No 2 of File B ) it opens a power point File B i.e. FileB.ppt and not FileB.html.
So, as it appears to me, PowerPoint doesn't transfer the hyperlinks to the appropriate html file while transferring into html.
Is it possible that when I save a PowerPoint file as a Web page PowerPoint transfers all the hyperlinks to the correct html version of the other file and not to a PowerPoint file?
I want that when I open FileA.html and click the hyperlink it takes me to the slide 2 of FileB.html and vice versa!
I have tried to explain my problem. I am sure that there must be some solution of this problem, I am trying but couldn't find one, so if you can help, I will be really thankful to you."
