automated verification of hyperlinks?

[brmauer]

Using visual basic (macro) I am able to pull out hyperlink information for
those hyperlinks that exist on my powerpoint slides. I write this info to an
excel spreadsheet. Is there a clever way using a macro to automatically open
each hyperlink in the excel spreadsheet to verify it exists (maybe you get an
error code if it can't be open)?

You might look here for the FixLinks tool. It might do just what you
want unless you are really intent on doing it yourself in which case
you'll have to ask Steve how he did it in FixLinks.
