Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 8637
Trouble with hyperlinks in Presentations
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:20:24 UTC
I have a MS PowerPoint presentation which has hyperlinks to both Documents (link to PDF file) and Slide Numbers (link on slide 1 that takes you to slide 5). When I run the presentation via Open Office Impress the hyperlinks to Documents dosent work! The links to slides are fine! Also there does not seem to be a way in which I can edit the hyperlink details (I click on the hyperlink diolgue box and no data is present). I also created a new presentation within Open Office (sxi format). I inserted hyperlinks but they did not work when I ran the show! When converted to ppt format the links where lost even on slide view!
Cheryl, thank you for using and supporting OOo. One problem per issue please. In regards to your first problem, please post a small PowerPoint presentation that reproduces the problem you mentioned.
Thank you for the response .... I have created 2 presentations 1. A powerpoint presentation with 3 slides. On slide 1 I inserted a link directly to slide 3 and a link to our website. The links seem to be ok while in slide view but when I run the slide show the links do not work. I save (.ppt) and close the file. When the file is reopened the links are gone (the text is there but no link). 2. An OpenOffice presentation with 3 slides. On slide 1 I inserted a link directly to slide 3 and a link to our website. The links seem to be ok while in slide view but when I run the slide show the links do not work. I save (.sxi) and close the file. When the file is reopened the link to slide 3 does not work (not even in slide view).
Created attachment 3345 [details] PPT with HyperLinks
Created attachment 3346 [details] SXI with HyperLinks
Cheryl, did you create the PowerPoint presentation in OOo or PowerPoint?
Both presentations were created in OpenOffice. One saved as .ppt and one saved as .sxi. Thanks, Cheryl ;o)

Reassigned to Christian.
Cheryl, turns out this is a known issue. Please see issue 2224 *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 2224 ***
changed the target.
There are 3 different bugs in this issue. Only one is duplicate to issue 2224. I reopen the issue.
Set to new
I can reproduce the part with the broken internal link after saving and reloading the document. I can also reproduce the dissapeared links after saving as a PPT file. Only the bug that the hyperlinks not work in the running presentation is duplicate to issue 2224 Reassign the issue to sj. Cheryl you wrote 3 different bugs in one Issue. Please create one issue for each bug in the future.
SJ->CGU: In the latest developer build there seems to be no error in the PowerPoint filter. Can you please verify this and maybe split up the remaining problems of this bug into belonging together pieces and send this to the proper developer, thanks.
The part with the dissapeared external links is fixed in the internal version but not in the OOo version. mho have a look why the fix is not in the OOo version.
After examine the issue only one bug still occure. I've written a new issue about this bug (issue 12101) and close this issue.
I close this issue.
