Too many hyperlinks??

R

Reggie

I have a presentation that will not save any more of my
heperlinks. There are 133 slides with links throughout the
presentation. I have tried breaking the presentation up,
etc to no avail. This is what someone else sent me as a
possible problem but I don't have 2002 and wondering if
there is a better way:
*******
In certain situations, when you add or make a change to a
hyperlink setting in a large PowerPoint presentation, save
and close the file, and then reopen the file, the changes
you made are not retained. PowerPoint 2000 stores the
hyperlink information in the Document Summary storage area
of the presentation. This storage area has a limit of 64
KB. The Document Summary storage contains all the document
properties, custom properties, references, and other
similar data. Because the Document Summary storage is used
by different aspects of the presentation, there is a
finite number of hyperlinks that can be stored in
presentation. This is compounded by the fact that the
longer the text is for a hyperlink that you have to store,
the fewer you can store. Theoretically you can store
upwards of 32 KB of characters in the Document Summary,
which translates to approximately 6,500 words. More than
half of this is already allocated to dedicated Document
Summary items. After the free space is used, no more can
be allocated to the presentation. This problem was
corrected in Microsoft PowerPoint 2002.""

Please help
