HELP!! PP 2000 stops saving changes

[Jon Konves]

Has ANYONE had this happen? I am the "guy" who makes presentations for folks here at my hospital. Occasionally I get a person who has revision after revision, and PP will stop saving changes I've made. Areas in particular: Text boxes in a slide, and (the reason for this question), hyperlinks within a slideshow

We've created a Jeopardy-type learning event for our trauma staff (I think many of you have seen versions of Jeopardy! powerpoint out there), and I am trying to insert the "daily double" slide on one of the questions. All links on the main game board are set to go to their corresponding question slide. To make a determined question a daily double, you direct the hyperlink on the main gameboard to point to the (hidden) daily double slide, and point the daily double slide to the question slide. But no matter what I do, I cannot change the hyperlink to point to the hidden DD slide. I tried editing the hyperlink, tried changing the action settings, but it still goes to the original question slide. It is Sunday, May 9, and I've been trying to fix it since the 6th. We are presenting this to over 300 local fire and EMS personnel for EMS week on the 13th. HELP!!
