How do I hyperlink to a specific slide of a .ppt file?

Question

I want to link to a specific slide in an online PowerPoint file, (e.g. http://www.example.com/hello.ppt) but what I want is that when people click on my link, it goes straight to the nth slide.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

Link to

http://www.whatever.com/hello.ppt#4

for slide 4 to be opened initially.

Take a look at this site: http://www.tinyempire.com/shortnotes/files/specific_slide_in_ppt.htm

Answer 2

Also, if you want a link to the nth slide within the same file (to automate the 'Edit Hyperlink' > 'Place in This Document' action) then omit the filename and only set it to "#n".

Answer 3

I found the answer. all you have to do is add #n after .ppt.

For example, http://www.whatever.com/hello.ppt#4 will take you straight to the 4th slide.
