I've tried that. My text is in a shape in an organization chart. When I convert the organization chart to pdf for publishing to our intranet, for some reason, the hyperlinks attached to the shapes do not get converted. The only way I can get the hyperlinks to work in a pdf is to hyperlink the text, not the shape, and use the convert to pdf option that came with the Flashpaper toolbar which basically converts it to Flashpaper first, then to pdf. And this way only works if the text within the shape is hyperlinked. If the shape itself is hyperlink, Flashpaper converts it, but moves each hyperlink up one shape. (I know, weird). If I use the Adobe pdf convert, I loose the hyperlinks whether or not they are attached to the shape or the text within the shape. But thanks for the tip.

Then using Edit Text to enter whatever text desired to represent the link. vic http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WinTips-Tricks/ http://www.angelfire.com/va3/powerpoint_to_exe/ McDonald, Christine, Ms, DCAA wrote: >Is it possible to remove the underlining from the hyperlinks in >Powerpoint.
