in reply to PowerPoint - Making from .gifs or .pdfs

I haven't used PP for 5 or more years, but does it allow you to use hypertext links to external files?

I seem to remember someone doing something similar by creating the first slide as an index with each item a clickable link that used file://localhost/c:/slide1.gif etc. and stepped through it that way, but maybe my l'il grey cells are playing tricks on me again.

Examine what is said, not who speaks.
1) When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2) The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible
3) Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
