Open Linkin New Window??

[Becca]

I have put a hyperlink inside a PowerPoint presentation
and it leads to an outside web site. When I click it, it
opens in the same window. Is there any way to make it
open to a new window?

Thanks!

I have put a hyperlink inside a PowerPoint presentation

and it leads to an outside web site. When I click it, it
opens in the same window. Is there any way to make it
open to a new window?

This would be in HTML made from PowerPoint?

I don't think there's any way to control this short of manually editing the
"outside" links to look more like:

<a href="http://www.somesite.com/filename.htm" target="_new">Click me to see
a new window</a>

With luck, your web browser or newsreader won't totally mess that up.

Or use our commercial addin, PPT2HTML, which allows you to open all outside
links in a single external window or in a new window for each link. Demo at
