How do I test hyperlinks in presentations in Powerpoint 2007?

[LieslV]

In previous versions of PowerPoint, you could test added hyperlinks in Normal
view using Control and clicking the link (box, text etc). This doesn't seem
to be an option in 2007 and I cannot find an alternative. It's frustrating
having to change to the Slide Show view each time I want to test (perhaps)
just one added hyperlink. Is there an equivalent Normal View test option?

 

[Rae Drysdale]

I am using 2003 and cannot test a hyperlink using this method. Are you
perhaps thinking of hyperlinks in Word?

 

[Glen Millar]

Hi Rae,

You nailed it. LieslV can't control + click a hyperlink in 2003 or 2007.
Great feature in Word though

As Rae and Glen said you can't do this (I'm pretty sure this applies to all
versions)
You should be able to right click and "Open Link" though

An alternative might be to use the quarter-size slide show view. Press Ctrl
as you click the Slide Show view icon. I explain some of the ways you can use
