Post subject: Creating a hyperlink that leads to a page i saved in my local driv Add to elertz Archived from groups: microsoft>public>powerpoint (more info?)
Hi,
I'm trying to create a hyperlink on Powerpoint that opens a page I saved in
my desktop. I've created the hyperlink (Ctrl K) and linked it to the html
page i want. However, each time I click on it on SlideShow mode, I get first
a warning that it's dangerous to open hyperlinks and then this message:
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (c)
isn't associated with any program
I've tried disabling Firefox as my default browser but IE7 doesn't open it
either.

uuuh,if the warning message come from a pop-up messagebox,that might be
related to your anti-virus software.Try to shut down your anti-virus software
and then click the hyperlink again.
Or maybe the hyperlink you added in the ppt doesn't exist at all,that means
the link is invalid.

Let's see if we can get it to open first:
What happens if you doubleclick the file's icon directly on the desktop?
Is it an actual file or a shortcut to a file that's somewhere else?
Right-Click, Properties should tell you that.
Is it a normal HTML file or an MHT (single-file web page) file?

kwaycx ==> it opens an the page i saved for offline viewing (i.e., the html
file and the associated folders).
> Is it an actual file or a shortcut to a file that's somewhere else?
kwaycx ==> it's the file i saved using the "save as" function of firefox
browsers.
> Right-Click, Properties should tell you that.
kwaycx ==> it's the actual file.

kwaycx ==> i'm pretty confident it's not dangerous because i saved the file
myself. anyhoo, this was the workaround i did: i directed the link to open
windows explorer so that it allowed the reader to click on the htm file,
which then opened the page in the reader's browser. however, doing this
meant that i had to save the powerpoint and the associated offline/ saved htm
pages together , which resulted in a bigger than necessary file.

Ah, but you see PowerPoint thinks it's smarter than you. It will warn you about
potential viruses unless you make the changes mentioned on the link above.
But at least it sounds like you've got it working ...
