* or choose the specific slide by its Title
A preview of the slide will appear to help you make your choice.

I am trying to link to an external PDF File. When in slideshow mode it doesn't allow me to use the links?

1. Did you save the ppt file?
2. Did you change the source for the word document (meaning when you created the link it was in one folder and when you run the program the document could have been at the other place)
2. For easy and reliable presentation always keep all the files that you hyperlink in the same folder so that when you transfer the presentation then copy the whole folder unless you are sure where the files are located.

Suggestion:
bring in the powerpoint and the document in one folder create the hyper link save the powerpoint and try!!!!

Hope its Helpful...
