Doing multiple actions with a single hyperlink

[Dave Ag]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows a way to both advance a slide and open a new
presentation with one hyperlink click?

The drawback is that it needs to be compatible with PowerPoint 2003 Viewer,
so macros are out unfortunately.

Many thanks.

Is this possible? Acutally I found one hyperlink could hold only ONE
action in PowerPoint.

It's not really possible but you could try having a transparent full slide
shape on the slide to be opened by the hyperlink and set a mouseover
hyperlink to the new presentation on it.

Hi John,

Thanks for the suggestion - it does the job nicely. A full screen mouseover
doesn't really work, as it keeps loading the other presentaiton every time
you're on the slide, but I've done a much smaller shape in the same place as
a "next" button on the previous slide, which solves that.

Thanks a lot!
Dave

Try grouping together the objects and linking it to the on going slide or
file. For example:
If you have objects A, B, C, etc (animated or otherwise) on a slide, then
group them as one object. Hyperlink the grouped object to a slide or a file.
In the presentation A, B, C will appear as three different objects and can be
clicked over to go forward to the destination slide or file.
