Christine,
I was out of touch most of yesterday, so didn't see your post. I think there
is a solution, but I want to play with it before I post. Give me a few and
you may have an answer.

Okay.  Still can't figure this out, but I did figure out I can convert it to
flash paper and the hyperlinks work.  Sort of.  What happens is the links
seem to jump to one shape above the actual shape they are hyperlinked to.
But, I can hyperlink the text.  Now, how to do remove the underline from the
hyperlinked text in Powerpoint?
Thanks,

I have an organization chart created in Powerpoint (which btw, is a cool
tool).  Each shape is hyperlinked to a lower level organization chart.
When I convert the slide to pdf for publication on the intranet, the
hyperlinks are not included in the PDF file.  The only way I can get the
hyperlinks to convert are if they are attached to plain text.  Attaching the
hyperlink to a shape or the text within a shape doesn't work.  I've checked
and rechecked the options.  It's set to convert links.
Everything I've found on the web seems to indicate that the latest version
of adobe should convert it with the links, at least for text and images.
Doesn't specifically mention shapes, but why would they be created
differently that shapes?  
Thanks,
