Hyperlink substitution

[Woz]

Hello, I'm trying to attach a hyper link to a word in a .ppt presentation.
The hyper link points to a network directory on a shared server. When I run
slideshow the link works. But when I save the presentation to the shared
server over the network, powerpoint seems to replace some subdirectory names
with a series of slashes and periods e.g. "../../../../../../../" so the
link no longer functions. Why is this? How can I stop it doing this?

Thanks for any advice.

Hi,

And on that note, if Mr Rindsberg is up out of bed, it's good night from the
Aussie. Nighty-night, PowerPoint world ;-)

hi Steve,

I don't see any reference to a Hyperlink base set in any tab of the
properties menu. Any other idea why my hyperlinks are being overwritten when
I save the ppt to a shared server?

Thanks.
