Open in new window

[chuck]

Hi,

I'm trying to change my link in powerpoint so it open in
a new window. This is my code now:
<a

href="http://www.infopeople.org/training/rural_initiative/
webcasts/7-24-03/7-24-03_LowCostNoCost.html"
target="_parent"
onclick="window.event.cancelBubble=true;">description
page</a>

As you can see the target is _parent when I change it to
_blank it changes right back to _parent

Any idea's?

Thanks
chuck

Chuck,

Seems no-one knows. But I have seen people experiment with such things, so
if you manage to crack it, please let us know.

But that said, how are you changing the html? Within PowerPoint? If so, if
PowerPoint doesn't like it, it will throw it back out. You need to Publish
the presentation and then change the code. But that does not mean it wont
make something else not work. Interesting challenge, though.

I seem to be having the opposite problem with Powerpoint
2002. All my hyperlinks open a new browser window.
After digging into the html the target is _blank. I have
too many slides to manually change the html in each one.

The default hyperlink target in PowerPoint 2000 is to
open in the same window (_parent), so for now I'm back
using PPT2000.

Are there any configuration files or settings where I cn
change the default hyperlink target?

thanks,
Bob

There are batch search and replace programs that could search all the .htm
files (or whatever) in a folder and make whatever changes you like
automatically. Perhaps that'd be the simplest?
