MS Word and MS PowerPoint are applications available in the MS Office suite. If you installed MS Office 2003 in its entirety, then PowerPoint should have been installed.

PowerPoint isn’t typically opened while you’re in Word – in other words, there’s no menu option or toolbar button or keyboard shortcut in Word that automatically runs PowerPoint.

You can create a hyperlink in Word that runs PowerPoint by selecting some text (or an image if you like), then right-clicking and selecting Hyyperlink.

Then, in the “Link To” frame on the left side, make sure the Existing File or Web Page is selected.

Next, click the arrow on the far right side of the “Look In” option and select Local Disk C.

Then, double-click on the Program Files Folder.

Next, double-click on the Microsoft Office folder. Next, double-click on the Office11 folder (it will have a similar name if you’re not using Office 2003).

Then, double-click on the POWERPNT.EXE file.

Now, to run PowerPoint, you can hold down your Ctrl key while clicking on the text (or image) that is now a hyperlink. You’ll probably get a couple messages about the dangers of hyperlinks and viruses but, since you created the link and know it’s safe, you can simply click “Yes” or “OK” to continue to run PowerPoint.

Hope that clarifies things……
