I have a slide with multiple hyperlinks on it. The hyperlinks all work in Powerpoint, but when I preview it in Articulate, the links either fail to work altogether or link me to the wrong page. The 'hand' icon (that denotes a hyperlink on PPT) still comes up when I mouse over the hyperlinked object in the Articulate preview. How can I get them to work in Articulate?
hyperlinks do not work correctly in preview as they become relative to how many slides you have published. The best way to check is to publish, however if you preview a range starting from slide 1 then they should work
I am having a similar problem the homepage hyperlinks work in PowerPoint, but when I preview the in Articulate, they don't function properly. The link doesn't go to the specific slide that I branched it to, but instead just goes to the next slide. Any tips to solve this problem?
I may be missing something very easy, but I have reviewed the PPT hyperlink support article. I created a quick test PPT with two links to two different slides in my PPT that are not hidden. I used Slide Title to link them which according to the support document is a supported method. The links work fine with viewed within PPT, but after publishing them, I have nothing. No links. I am sure I am missing something simple, perhaps someone could suggest something.
I you you a shape with no fill and no stroke, to do your hyperlinks sometimes articulate does not translate them to the the published file, I find it best to give the shape a colour and set it to 100% transparency
If you are linking via text, there is no reasom why this shouldnt work. Are you typing the slide title or just linking via the popup box (e.g. place in this document then choose the slide)?

Hyperlinks in preview don't work. See:

Some may but not all do which is why we emphasize that they are not supported in preview.

Hi Brittany and welcome to Heroes! Hyperlinks don't actually work in Preview mode so your best bet is to publish the content to see how it works.

Can you post the ppt file?

Phil, you hit the nail on the head. I lowered the transparency from 100% to 99% and voila, they all function normally. I would not have guessed that.
Eric
Glad it worked, its a strange one because it does not happen all the time, I have a couple of projects where I have it set to 99% to make them work
