Hyperlinks in PPT Viewer

[nikalod]

I have inserted a hyperlink to a website in a ppt presentation (PPT 2003).
When I use the PPT viewer to check the presentation, the hyperlink does not
bring me to the web page. It brings up the internet but it is a blank page.
When I view the presentation in the slideshow mode in PPT 2003, it brings up
the website with no problems. Any reason the Viewer does not bring up the
hyperlink like the actual program does?

Is the link applied to a grouped object?

No. It is the only text in a text box.

Is the link applied to a grouped object?

I don't know. I've never seen this happen.

Anybody else got any ideas?
