Hyperlink in Powerpoint 2010 bringing up static page - link works fine in browser outside of application

Hi,
Having errors with Powerpoint 2010 (MAPs install) (32-bit) on Windows 8  - inserting hyperlinks working for some URLs not others. All links work outside of Powerpoint.
Error I am getting is that the browser is not supported, or I get runtime script errors on other URLs.
Windows/Office have been updated.
Please advise,
Geoff

What's the version of IE you are using? Try to reset IE to check the behavior. Please also make sure that the Office update is patched fully. Thanks.

  • Numbers (or Pages) Template Cannot Be Opened From Outside the Application

    Ever since the upgrade to Mavericks, I cannot open a Numbers (or Pages) template without being asked.....
    Do you want to add this custom template to the Template Chooser?  Then my only options are Cancel or Add to Template Chooser.
    If I cancel, it won't open anything.
    But this template is already in my Template Chooser.
    So the only way to open a template in Numbers (or Pages) is to open the application first, and then click "New", and choose the template.
    I can't figure out a way to open the template from outside the application, which is very very handy, rather than having to open the application every time that I want to access a template.
    How can I open a template simply by clicking on it?

    Yes, the problem is that opening the template from outside of the application will not open the application, showing the document.  I only get this....

    Put your Pages or Numbers document on your desktop and open it by double-clicking it, and you'll understand.  You can't do it, even if the template is in your template chooser.
    The only way to do this now is to open the application, select "New", and the select the template.  So you cannot open a template from outside the application....only from within.

  • Broken page links: works in Firefox not IE

    Before I jump in the river . . . I have put up sites with 70+ pages but this defeats me. I am building a titchy 5 page site (not yet uploaded) all from same template. There are no broken links. On preview everything works fine in Firefox but not in IE: I cannot get off the Home Page. I have rebuilt cache, and validation of template shows no errors. Any ideas you clever people please?
    The navbar code couldn't be simpler (it is of course in the locked area).

    Nancy, thanks for that, but endlessly fiddling around I seem to have just cracked it. How – or why – I do not know. On the index page I have a 90sec .flv. To preview I have "Mark of the Web" clicked, which always sounds a bit creepy. The video is there and plays of course but I can't shift off the Home Page. If I preview from another page then all the other pages are accessible OK but when I land on the index then I'm stuck (but only with IE nor FFx).
    However . . . if I open the Template and add "Mark of the Web" even though a message pops up saying DW can't accept it and will be discarded, by some mysterious spell unknown on this (civilised) side of The Pond, it seems to clear the problem and all is hunky dory.
    Life is full of mysteries.

  • Callers only hear static, however mic works fine with skype or with headset

    Hi guys,
    My partner started experiencing a problem with users calling her and they would only hear static. She would hear them fine however. As the warranty recently ran out, the Apple store genius's did nothing more then just restoring it. Having played around with it a bit myself I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction of finding a fix. The mic itself works fine when recording a memo for example or making a Skype call. Also using a headset it runs fine. So any suggestions appreciated.
    I know a common suggestion is put the headset in and pull it out a few times, but that didn't work, and she hasn't actually ever used a headset before anyway, so unlikely of been the cause.

    I had this intermittent issue where callers could either not hear me or hear static.  I did a complete reload of the software and reset the network settings on the phone but the problem always came back.  I finally got to the point where the problem occurred all the time so I decided to open it up.  I removed the battery and the speaker/mic assembly to check for debris but I found nothing.  I also could not find any liquid damage on the board.  I reassembled the device and now the phone works great.  The only thing I believe it could've been was that the screws may have loosened and the board was not grounded.  I've seen this happen to laptops just from typical transport or movement.  Just something to consider if you see this problem however if your phone is still under warranty, have Apple service it.

  • How to place an indesign page with hyperlinks in another indesign file, such that the links work?

    I have a page of text with hyperlinks in a master indesign file.
    I place that file into another indesign file.
    (It is like an html include file for a webpage.In this way i only have to update the file in one place.)
    But when i export the indesign file to pdf, the hyperlinks fail to work.
    They work in the original but not in the second.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Abby Eagle

    My apologies. My tests were done using URLs. They function in Acrobat regardless of their state in InDesign.
    Aside to Bob: Since I had just made a PDF that worked, I mistook your "Since when" to mean since when won't a placed ID file work? I guess I was blind sided by the fact that the only hyperlinks I ever come into contact with are full URLs.
    If Abbey's situation is as I envisioned -- that the placed files are more akin to smaller graphics within the layout of a page rather than discreet pages at all -- then is this not a insolvable problem given how InDesign works now?

  • Display view scrambles pages that display fine in browser

    Help would really, really be appreciated.
    I have a number of pages for a site (at
    www.cognographics.com) which display perfectly in the browser.
    Until recently, they also displayed perfectly in display view in
    DW4. Then I replaced my PC (power surge zapped it), reinstalled
    DW4, and now the same pages appear scrambled, with layers scattered
    across the page, tables mixed up, etc.
    Nothing changed in the code, and as I said, the pages display
    fine in IE7. I know the code is not the cleanest, with some of the
    styles in the CSS style sheet and others defined on the page, but
    (a) the browser does not complain and (b) when I created the pages
    in DW they looked fine.
    I have installed DW4 on four different PCs, I've even tried
    my pages in a friend's DW MX -- same result: Perfect preview in
    browser, but pages are messed up in display view in DW.
    I'm at my wits end -- any help would really, really be
    appreciated
    Thanks

    It's entirely possible. Dreamweaver's Design view is not
    nearly so
    forgiving as a browser's rendering.
    > I've tried an upgraded DW (MX);
    Ahh right. The bad news is that DMX is just pretty awful at
    rendering CSS
    layouts. Unfortunately the only thing you can do about this
    is to upgrade
    to a more current version of DW. The Design view in DW CS4 is
    perfect, for
    what that's worth. This page contains all the elements that
    will cause DMX
    to fall down (floated containers, and absolute and relative
    positioning).
    Sorry about that. And since DW4 is the immediate predecessor
    to DMX, it's
    not going to do as well as DMX even.

  • Safari not loading pages, Firefox working fine

    Hi there,
    My Safari has not been working for about 6 months now, thought it's about time I did some troubleshooting.
    Pages just refuse to load. The blue progress bar stays in the same spot and doesn't move.
    I have performed several updates since it stopped working, most recently updated to Safari 5.0.6 - and still nothing.
    Firefox works without a problem though..
    Things I have tried:
    Running Safari on another user account
    Reinstalling and rolling back to earlier versions of Safari.
    Deleting all add-ons in InputManager folders (Both home and HD directories)
    Repairing HD in DIsk Utility
    Really unsure what to try next, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    When you have problems with apps in more then one account, it's possible the startup disk needs repairing.
    Launch Disk Utility and verify and if necessary, repair the startup disk.

    Its kidna late in London!
    I can see your problem and offer a solution that I used when I had problems with the navigation bar. Firstly, this assumes that iWeb built your navigation bar not you:
    Select the Photography page, open Inspector, go to the Page tab and uncheck the "Include page in navigation bar", then repulbish the site.
    Then do the opposite, put it back onto the navigation bar by checking the box, then republish it again.
    This once solved problems for me, it may work for you?

  • My down and up arrow buttons for scrolling don't work except on the firefox help page, it worked fine with chrome?

    I had google chrome before I switched to firefox due to the obsessive popups on chrome. All of a sudden the up and down keys don't scroll up and down on web pages, the only one they work on is the firefox help page. Any thoughts?

    In order to be able to find the correct solution to your problem, we require some more non-personal information from you. Please do the following:
    *Click the Firefox button at the top left, then click the ''Help'' menu and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the submenu. If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Help menu at the top and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the menu.
    Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    *At the top of the page, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
    *Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.

  • Links in PowerPoint 2010 Not Working in PDF

    My PowerPoint 2010 file has several internal links.  Some pages/slides have multiple links.  When I save the file as a PDF, some of the links work correctly, but most of them disappear.  Trouble-shooting experiments so far include grouping and ungrouping items that have links -- there doesn't seem to be a pattern for what's going to work or not in the PDF.  My other experiment was creating the links using PowerPoint's "Hyperlink" feature instead of the "Action" feature.  That doesn't appear to make a difference. 
    I know how to recreate the links in the PDF file but that's not very efficient.
    Anyone know the trick for telling Adobe Pro to retain all links?  Thanks!

    Hi LotteNZ,
    Just for clarification, I'm using PowerPoint 2010 and Adobe Pro XI.  I have an ongoing project for which I have to produce a PDF based on a PowerPoint file that has a lot of links.  I eventually found an actual Adobe person who answered my question so I could stop looking for features that don't exist.
    Here's the bottom line:
    - Links that go to Next, Previous, First, or Last slide will work correctly in the PDF
    - Links that go to other specific slides within the file will not be transferred to the PDF
    - The links that don't get "inherited" in the PFD have to be re-created in the PFD (which isn't difficult -- just tedious when there are a lot of them)
    Adobe is aware of this but the person who wrote me did not know of any specific plans to fix it in future releases (which doesn't necessarily mean that they won't).
    I think Adobe supports "its own" first, which makes sense.  I believe that If the source file was created in InDesign, all of the links would be supported.  But for a variety of reasons, in my case, my source file has to be PowerPoint.
    It's annoying having to recreate links every time I make changes in my source file and so one trick I've learned is to only replace pages that have changes.  It's an imperfect system, but it does speed things up.
    Hope that helps!

  • Hyperlinks from Excel 2010 to external programm

    Hello!
    I have Microsoft Office 2010.
    I am interested in addition hyperlinks to pivot table in Excel, which can mouve to the external web application (Global Specification System - the system of documentation management).
    1. How can I add hyperlinks to pivot table?
    2. When I add hyperlink to ordinary Excel table (to the certain document), the hyperlink mouves me not to the certain document, but to the start page.
    Please let me know if you have any ideas how to realize this.

    We cannot add hyperlinks to pivot Table directly, but we can use some VBA code to create fake hyperlinks in a pivot table,refer to the link below to learn how to get it work:
    http://www.pivot-table.com/2013/11/06/create-fake-hyperlinks-in-excel-pivot-table/
    On your second question, if your hyperlink works fine in browser, please see :

  • Embedding a youtube video in Powerpoint 2010 via a shockwave flash object

    We have a user, has found recently, when he adds a 'shockwave flash object'
    in Microsoft PowerPoint 2010, and adds a YouTube link, next to the
    "movie" field within the properties of the shockwave flash object, it
    will not show the YouTube video window (with the play button etc.) and will not
    play the video.
    The user thinks the current version of Adobe flash is causing this (version:
    14.0.0.145) and would be grateful if any staff from Adobe or anyone else has any
    ideas if this version does cause this problem and if there is a way to resolve
    it, or if a new release of Adobe Flash player will address this and if so when
    it will be released.
    Thanks,
    James

    Please ask your question on a forum for the Flash Player

  • Unable to open some Powerpoint 2010 PPTX files which were emailed to me

    A presentation created by a colleague was emailed to me via Outlook 2010. After saving the file (save attachments) in a folder, I cannot open the PPTx file. I get the following error ina dialogue box:
         Powerpoint found a problem with content in XXX.ppt.
         Powerpoint can attempt to repair the presentation.
         If you trust  the source this presentation, click Repair.
    When I click on 'Repair', I get another dialogue box which says:
       This error can be caused by following conditions:
        ---- none of which are applicable to my system. Can somebody help me with this problem?

    Hi there.  I had a similar issue.  How I was able to resolve this was by doing the following.  You will need Office 2003 (with compatibility pack) and Office 2010.
    1. Open the Powerpoint presentation in Powerpoint 2003.
    2.  Once you have the presentation opened in Powerpoint 2003, save it as a Powerpoint 2007 presentation.
    3.  Open the presentation using Powerpoint 2010.  You may get some error prompts (you can ignore).  Click on save as, and save it as a Powerpoint 2010 presentation.  Close it.
    4.  Now open it again using Powerpoint 2010, you should be able to work on it without any issues.
    Not the most elegant solution but it worked for me.  I hope this helps.

  • "Link to One of  My Pages" not working properly in iWeb '08

    This week I encountered a new problem doing something I've done successfully many times in the past.
    *_Here is the basic info:_*
    I created a site that had a main page and then four subsequent pages (5 in total). I created a text box (seen bellow) that listed each page.
    I then used the "Link to One of My Pages" option to link each word to the corresponding page.
    I then cut and past the text box on each page so that the links would be present on each page.
    Then in iWeb I checked all the links on each page to make certain they navigated properly to the correct page. Everything checked out fine all the links worked properly.
    Next I saved and exported to a folder to check the site before going live.
    *_Now here's my problem_*
    I launched safari and opened the site locally — I then discovered that only the first 2 of 5 links worked — the remaining three did not register as links.
    I launched FireFox same problem. went back to safari emptied the cache, did not help.
    Finally, I went back to iWeb and repeated the process several times. I've rechecked, and recreated the links and exported to a folded multiple times with no change — still only the first 2 of 5 links work.
    Has anyone encountered the same problem? I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or remedies
    Thanks you
    Message was edited by: NYCguy-71

    Well I discovered the the solution to my own post above — For those keeping a score card I'll just chalk this one up to operator error and not to iWeb troubles.
    The basic problem was that only two of five hyperlinks in a text box worked when my site was published.(please refer to my original post above for more details)
    *_here is the fix:_*
    I was working with the layout view hidden.
    When i turned "show layout" on, I discovered that the lower margin and footer were bisecting the text box containing the hyperlinks. (seen bellow) As a result, while visable when published, the top two links worked fine and the bottom three links didn't.
    When I adjusted the lower margin and footer to fit the text box and published the site everything worked properly.
    So I guess the lesson learned is to check the layout — Even though I had content that was outside of the page parameters it was still visible on the published site just not functional.
    I share this in the hope that my time and effort spent figuring this out might help someone else avoid the same frustration.
