The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows

This article was previously published under Q192373

MORE INFORMATION

You can apply action settings, such as hyperlinks, running programs and macros, and switching between slides by using the Action Settings command on the Tools menu. Action settings are defined by hot spots. To trigger a hot spot, you must move the mouse over the area or click it. Because horizontal and vertical lines have only one dimension and no area, they do not have an area large enough to accommodate a hot spot.

SYMPTOMS

You cannot apply action settings to horizontal and vertical lines in PowerPoint.

CAUSE

Horizontal and vertical lines in PowerPoint have only one dimension and no area. You cannot apply action settings to lines unless their coordinates define an area greater than zero. Changing the line weight has no affect.
