Question on a few odd 'bugs' in presenter course

Hi all - having a few issues with my course and looking for help. Note I am using Office 2010.

1. Semi-blurry text. I have text boxes, but have not applied any formatting to the box (just size, font, etc.) to the actual text. Thoughts?

2. Hyperlinks on master slide do not work. For example, I have a 'menu' hyperlink on the master, but when published it is not clickable.

3. Articulate re-sizes a shape w/text. My course has users 'clicking' an empty box which is hpyerlinked. The following slide has an x inside the box they clicked on, effectively looking like a checkbox. However the box w/the X in it auto-resizes to the size of the X when published. Perhaps related to my blurry text issue? Not sure if it is the font?

Thanks for the help! I don't have a place to share a link, but if there is an easy way to share my course happy to upload!
