Links from PowerPoint to Word

[DH]

Does anyone know how to creat hyperlinks from text boxes in PowerPoint to
bookmarks in Word?

Thanks.

Highlight the text. Choose Hyperlink From the Insert Menu. Choosing
Exisiting File or Web Page and choose the file to which you want to link.
After the file name, you can type # and the name of the bookmark, and the
link should be to the bookmark. For example if you want to link to myBookMark
in the file MyFile.doc, you want the link to look like:

MyFile.doc#myBookMark

David,

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate your noting what the link should look
like. When I clicked on "Bookmark..." in the PowerPoint (2003) dialogue box,
I received the error message "Microsoft Office PowerPoint could not open this
file or could not parse a file of this type." By typing the link, I've been
able to get around the error message. Howerver, the following issue
confronts me:

Currently, the now just created hyperlink in the text box is only
underlined. If you click on it, nothing happens. You have to right click
and then select "Open Hyperlink" in the drop-down box. Is there away to get
around this

Thanks,

David H

Hyperlinks are meant to work in Slide Show View. If you go into Slide Show
View, you only have to click on the link.

Hi David,

I would like to link textboxes in my presentation, but not sure how to name
them. This is my code so far
Sub Copyname()
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TextBox1.Text =
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TextBox2.Text
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TextBox1.Text =
ActivePresentation.Slides(9).TextBox3.Text
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TextBox1.Text =
ActivePresentation.Slides(9).TextBox4.Text
End Sub

Thanks
