hyperlinks changing

[Peter Fitz]

My son has made a powerpoint maze game with 600 slide with hyperlinks that
seem to be now causing errors and turning into URL's. The files seem to
change whilst in use....

He broke the files into smaller sub files but the links are still changing
even in the smaller files from hyperlinks to URL links...

We read to change the save function on the help reports and turned OFF the
allow fast saves option

....Before he gets more distressed is this all he needs to do...He has spent
months making the maze game and nearly finsihed when it all started cahnging.

Please tell us he will not have to to re-do all the hyperlinks ...there are
hundreds of them as it is a maze game where you jump bewteen levels etc...

thanks from his Dad who knows a bit about powerpoint but not as much as his
son and cant fix it !!!

There is a limit to the amount of hyperlink info Powerpoint can store. Do the
slides have fairly long titles? Since the slide title is part of the stored
info short titles can help.
