Open hyperlink in new window when PPT is on Web (2002)

Hello,
At times I need to show a .PPT file via a web browser and do not want to convert it to a webpage. I have webpage links within the presentation and when I click on them they open in the same browser window as the .PPT file. Is there any easy way of making the link open in a new window when the .PPT file is viewed in a web browser without having to convert it to a webpage and edit the tag with target=”blank”.

Thank you for your input,
Steve

Open Windows Explorer.
Select Tools | Folder Options…
Activate the File Types tab.
Select PPT.
Click Advanced.
Clear the check box “Browse in same window”.
OK your way out.

Powerpoint presentations should now open in a PowerPoint window instead of in the browser. This should also solve the problem that a link opens in the same window.
