My PowerPoint 2010 Hyperlink will not open

Aug 21, 2012

I clicked on the Hyperlink icon and inserted the correct website into my textbox.  When I go back into the textbox and click on the newly inserted hyperlink, nothing happens.  Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this?

Not sure what you mean by "inserted the correct website into my textbox".

When you right click on the text, do you have the option to "Edit Hyperlink"?

There is a difference between hyperlinking the text box (object) and hyperlinking the actual text (words).

I enter my text first, then select the entire text to be linked, right click on it and select Hyperlink, Existing File or Web Page, make sure that the correct address is in the Address field, click OK.

Make sure that your text is on the top layer. Anything on top of the hyperlink will interfere with it.
