Linking to .htm page using url in presentation on our intranet

[rizakag]

This is driving me absolutely crazy!! Every time I try to link to anything, I
save the Powerpoint presentation, go test it on a coworker's machine, and the
url keeps truncating and looking for the file/link on the user's c: drive!
I've been dealing with this problem with document links, links to a video,
and now a link to a url, and the same thing keeps happening! The lesson I've
learned is to never use Powerpoint on the intranet, at least not for what
we're using it for! Does this make sense? Does anyone know how to work
around it? Saving as html isn't an option, the presentation doesn't work
correctly when I do that.

Your links are breaking. If you are trying to link to a shared/mapped drive, it
probably isn't going to work. The linked files should be saved to your hard
drive (in the same folder as the presentation) and then delete and re-insert the
links. When you move the presentation, you'll want to move the entire folder.

presentation
