I am having problems with hyperlinks in mac for windows powerpoint on my macbook air. I set my hyperlinks in one pp file to another and it works ok. However, when I close down the files and reopen them the hyperlink does not work and I get the error message "an unexpected error has occurred". The microsoft people spent 3 hours trying to solve the problem and believe it is an apple problem - something with the permissions. Hyperlinks work fine if I just go between word documents

Hi,
I also had this problem. If you have SMART interactive whiteboard software, go to the Mac Activity Monitor and quit the "Aware" process. This will resolve the problem. Powerpoint 2011 is not yet supported by SmartTech.

Hello,
Look for a free PowerPoint viewer, that allows you to read files but cannot modify them. Look for that on Microsoft web site. You can also use OpenOffice Impress. It is free.
Hope it helps.

it is because the compatible MS Office for windows vista is MS Office 2007. if you got a lower version, it is doesn't really work. try to get the latest version of MS Office.

The PP2007 is just a converter from 2007 to 2003

If you are trying to view PP2003 files, then install the PP2003 viewer. The PP2007 is just a converter from 2007 to 2003

Hi it is not the problem related to PP viewer. The problem with the Browser or iexplorer.exe So please try to upgrade it to IE7 or repair internet explorer and restore defaults of the explorer settings..

I face the same problem then i done like this.

I resolved the problem....

Goodluck :)

I don't know of one, but you can build hyperlinks, by using the hyperlink button on PowerPoint's toolbar (looks like chain links). Be sure to give the full location of the file by right-clicking on the file you want the hyperlink to point to and selecting 'Properties' and then copy and paste the 'Target' dialogue (all of it, which is fully selected by default when you open the properties of the file) by using 'Ctrl C' and then in the PowerPoint hyperlink dialogue box use 'Ctrl V' If you run into more problems or need further instructions, please let us know.
