hyperlinks to files

[Daniel Scheidt]

I want to insert this link:

file://Cgys003/RTD/User_Manuals/baseline/Gas_Suite/HTML_Projects/GDO/Output/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=GDO&file=monitorr.htm

into powerpoint(2003), but it keeps getting turned into:

\\Cgys003\RTD\User_Manuals\baseline\Gas_Suite\HTML_Projects\GDO\Output\wwhelp\wwhimpl\common\html\wwhelp.htm?context=GDO&file=monitorr.htm

which doesn't work. How can I preserve the "file:" designation?

Thanks.
