Hi Lynn,
Hyperlinks to slides within a presentation jump to a slide's ID number. The
ID number is one of three different numbers that describe a slide.
There is ...
....the slide number, which is the one you see when editing a slide. These
can start on any number up to 9999 and increase by 1 for each additional
slide in the presentation.
....the index number, which is the place in the slide show 'deck'. This will
always start with 1 and increase by 1 for each additional slide. While this
number is similar to the slide number it is offset by the starting page
number.
....and the ID number. The slide ID number is a unique number created
whenever a new slide is generated. This number stays with the slide within
the presentation regardless of location within the presentation.
If you link to a specific slide, then the link should follow the slide if it
is moved (select and drag) to another location within the presentation.
However, if you cut and paste, than the link will break. This last part is
because when you paste, you are creating new slides that have new ID
numbers.
If you link to a deleted slide than, naturally, that link will break.
Links to Next, Previous, Last, or First slide (thru action settings),
generally do not break, and will take you to the slide described.
Does this answer your question? If not, could you tell us how you were
moving slides so we can get a better idea of how to help?
