Problem with a Powerpoint Slideshow on our website

[Andrew_Rossington]

Hello

I created a Powerpoint presentation and made it very interactive by adding lots of clickable links to different slides.

I saved it as the "Powerpoint Slide Show" file type, and have added this to my website so that when a hyperlink is clicked, the presentation launches.

My problem is that the clickable links within the slideshow do not navigate to the same slides as they do when I open the file from my hard drive. There doesn't yet seem to be any logic behind which slides they do navigate to.

Does anyone know of this happening to others? Is there a solution?

If you can help, I'd appreciate it. If not, thanks very much for reading through this.

I'd appreciate any advice I could get on this.

Thank you.

Have you tried saving it as the other different file types?

 

[Andrew_Rossington]

I haven't because the intention was to allow it to run on the website so that people without Powerpoint could view it online, and I believe the only way to achieve this is to save as the file type mentioned above (.pps I believe)

Could it be to do with the version it was created with? (2000 in this case)

Thanks very much for your suggestion.

If you do "view show" within the edit version do the links work correctly?

Might be worth saving it as different file types just to test if the links work on them - if they do and it's only when it's published online then it's likely to be a problem away from PowerPoint.

Yes sir, the links work fine when I open the file normally. Even when I run the .pps file on my computer, it works fine.

It seems to be an issue with launching it on a web page.

Try looking (in PowerPoint) at File | Properties | Summary Tab | Hyperlink Base entry.
This is where you place the path to the desired files. I think this might
Solve your problem. hth, Larry.

There's nothing entered in this box. But then it's not hyperlinks I'm having a problem with. It's the buttons within the slideshow which should navigate to specific slides when clicked, but which do not do that when the show is viewed online.

I don't think buttons work when launching through HTML content - only hyperlinks.

Do you mean they're problematic? Because the buttons do work. It's just not in a logical way.
