Links in the Table of Contents do not work in Producer for PowerPoint 2002
This article was previously published under Q318777
When you open a Microsoft Producer presentation in
Microsoft Internet Explorer, the "Table of Contents" does not work. When you
click a link to jump to a specific point in the presentation, nothing happens.
This problem occurs because of a limitation in Microsoft
Windows Media Player, version 6.x. The player cannot seek across a Hypertext
Transfer Protocol (HTTP) connection.
To correct this problem, install Microsoft Windows Media
Player, version 7.x or later on your computer.
Note You cannot install Windows Media Player, version 7.x in
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. Windows Media Player, version 6.4 is the latest
version available for Windows NT 4.0. Therefore, in Windows NT 4.0, you cannot
use the table of contents to navigate during playback of a presentation.
To work around this problem, publish your media files from
a Microsoft Windows 2000 server that is running Windows Media Services. The
server will stream the files instead of making them directly accessible through
HTTP on a Web server.
To specify your Web server and Windows Media
server configuration, use the Publish Wizard in Producer.
Microsoft
has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed
at the beginning of this article.
The following information comes from the Microsoft
Producer, version 1.0 release notes (Relnote.doc):
Windows Media Player 6.4 cannot seek when playing from HTTP. This is a general problem with any Windows Media file accessed via HTTP. If a table of contents entry in a presentation points to the middle of a media file, the presentation will play from the beginning of the media file instead. With Windows Media Player 7.0, the table of contents entries will work properly once the entire media file is downloaded.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Producer for PowerPoint 2002, when used with:
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Standard Edition
- Microsoft Windows 98 Standard Edition
- Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6a

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
