Hyperlinks open a popup window/browser

[Dan T]

For Powerpoint, does anyone know how to create a
hyperlink to a url, that will open a browser in a popup
window (i.e. where I can control the window size, menus,
etc.).

Any help is much appreciated.

I don't think you can, at least not directly from PPT, but how about having
the link point to an html file that contains some javascript in the onLoad
event to size the browser window to suit. If you need to reference a web
page that's not under your control, a bit more javascript could probably
auto-lauinch that page after the first page loads in one of several ways.

Pity I only know enough about javascript to tell you what you might be able
to do with it and not how. ;-)
