Hello,

I am adding a hyperlink to my ppt.  The link is to a specific web location in my web application.  The hyperlink takes my to my login screen and then it just dumps me to my application opening page.

If I click on that same hyperlink url from skype, it takes me to my login page but after I login I go directly to the page that I want to see.  So, it doesnt dump me to my application opening page.

Why is this happening with ppt and Word.

    Very likely your URL includes a query string (a question mark followed by a string of data). PowerPoint and Word don't process query strings. You would have to give your page a straight HTML URL. Services like Bitly are able to do this.
