Hyperlinks Collection Object

         Properties         Methods

A collection of all the Hyperlink objects on a slide or master.

Using the Hyperlinks Collection

Use the Hyperlinks property to return the Hyperlinks collection. The following example updates all hyperlinks on slide one in the active presentation that have the specified address.

For Each hl In ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Hyperlinks
    If hl.Address = "c:\current work\sales.ppt" Then
        hl.Address = "c:\new\newsales.ppt"
    End If
Next

Use the Hyperlink property to create a hyperlink and add it to the Hyperlinks collection. The following example sets a hyperlink that will be followed when the user clicks shape three on slide one in the active presentation during a slide show and adds the new hyperlink to the collection. Note that if shape three already has a mouse-click hyperlink defined, the following example will delete this hyperlink from the collection when it adds the new one, so the number of items in the Hyperlinks collection won't change.

With ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(3) _
        .ActionSettings(ppMouseClick)
    .Action = ppActionHyperlink
    .Hyperlink.Address = "http://www.microsoft.com"
End With
