Hyperlinking to a file from Presenter

Jul 30, 2014

Hi,

I created a button image on one of my pages for students to click on to download a file. I thought it would be more direct than having them go to the Resources tab. I hyperlinked the button image to my file but when I publish it, the and click the button I get an error message that the page cannot be found. I tried with the file in the original Power Point format and I tried pointing to a zipped file. Neither works. Can you help?

Thanks,

Lucie

Hi Denise,

Are you testing this within the intended publish environment or testing it locally? Hyperlinks may not work as expected when previewing. To test hyperlinks, publish your presentation and upload it to a web server or LMS. Otherwise, local security restrictions may prevent your hyperlinks from working properly.

If you are viewing the published output within the intended environment could you let us know a bit more about how it's set up and what's occurring?
