Trying to remove underlining from text in PPT boxes that are hyperlinked to bookmarks in Word doc

[patsy]

When I set up a hyperlink from the whole text box, as opposed to the
selected TEXT in the text box, the underlines are removed, but it
doesn't go to the BOOKMARK in the Word doc, just to the top of the Word
doc. (BTW, to answer an older email, the reason the people I work with
don't want underlines in the text boxes -- there are about 500 of these
boxes in my process flow, and about 10 per slide -- is it makes the 9
point text very hard to read and distracts from overall presentation
value.)

Thanks for any help.

Something's weird, then, because it should work.

How exactly have you created your links? Can you give us an example of the
path included in one of them?

Thanks for your interest. Since I posted, I figured out that by
selecting the text box, then setting the cursor (rather that
star-shaped icon) on the EDGE of the box, then creating the hyperlink,
it doesn't underline the text but still goes to the bookmark in the
Word doc! These files are on a shared server (with version control),
but it still works. I can also link to the same Word doc that is in a
local file (without underlines), however, I must work backwards,
otherwise, after the first hyperlink acdtion, the subsequent ones don't
maximize the Word doc -- weird. So a PPT instructor where I worked
said she copies the Word doc bookmark, then pastes it in the PPT box (I
paste it on the "edge" of the box to keep the underline out) and that
seems to be functional for multiple hyperlinks on the same slide.

Also, you asked about paths: when I use the path from the shared server
doc, I copy it to the URL clipboard, then paste it in the hyperlink
window and add: #XXX -- pound sign and the name of the bookmark. Works
every time, as long as you save and check the document back in before
trying the hyperlinks. I HAVE noticed that when I link to bookmarks on
this shared server, they "jump" more before settling doing to finding
their bookmark -- a litle disconcerting.

I'm sure this is way more than you wanted to know!

As long as you got it working....
