One way:
In the "Document" pane of the "Insert Hyperlink" dialog, click Select to
navigate to and choose your PPT file.
In the "Anchor" input box, enter the name of the specific slide (say
"Slide2"). Don't click "Locate...", as Word has no clue about PPT file
structure.
The "Link to:" field should now look something like:
file://localhost/Users/greencode/Documents/MyPresentation.ppt#Slide2
Change the "Display:" field to suit, and click OK .

I have added the link as you suggested but I can't get it to open a
specific slide - it simply opens from the beginning. I have added two
slides to the PPT; one called Slide 1 and the other Slide 2. I have
then added the link which looks like this "test.ppt#Slide%202"
Also, if I can get this to work is there any way to open that slide in
"Normal View" as it seems to be opening it in a window but in
slideshow view.
Basically I'm trying to create a document in Word which references
slides in PPT so I can hand to website developers so they can quickly
reference screens.

Does it make any difference whether the file (or PPT) is closed or not?
It works every time for me...

Not AFAIK. One can choose Edit/Edit Slides once the slideshow view is
displayed.

Perfect - I quit PPT and then tried the link and that works perfectly
Oh well, can't have it all I suppose - I'm amazed I could even do this
with a Microsoft product!!!
Thanks for the help

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your need, but why not just take screen shots ofgreencode said:Basically I'm trying to create a document in Word which references

the PPT windows, save them as image files & link/embed them in the doc?

You have a space in "Slide 2".
Word takes a very literal view of HTML: spaces and case are significant.
