New Product Lets PowerPoint Users Move Presentations Without Breaking Links

CLEARWATER, FLORIDA, USA — LinkTek Corporation announced today the release of a new version of their LinkFixerPlus link maintenance and repair program, designed specifically for users of Microsoft PowerPoint. LinkFixerPlus for Microsoft PowerPointensures that links contained in PowerPoint files are automatically maintained whenever presentation files are moved or renamed. This newest version of LinkFixerPlus is part of LinkTek’s continuing series of releases that empower the program to work with an ever-increasing variety of popular file formats. Many professional users of Microsoft PowerPoint routinely have links contained in their PowerPoint files. Consequently they are often faced with a special problem: what to do when they want to move or rename their presentation. As soon as any of these files (or the folders they reside in) are moved or renamed, broken links are created. If moving or renaming a file or folders causes only a few broken links, the problem is not severe. The user can manually open each PowerPoint file and manually edit each broken link. But what if moving or renaming files or folders would cause dozens or hundreds of broken links? This is the problem that LinkTek Corporation’s new patent-pending product, LinkFixerPlus for Microsoft PowerPoint, solves. Using LinkFixerPlus for Microsoft PowerPoint a PowerPoint user can easily move or rename hundreds of PowerPoint presentations and the files they link to, in batch, and have all of the links maintained totally automatically! LinkFixerPlus for Microsoft PowerPoint gives PowerPoint users the ability to:

• Rename or move linked files, in batch, using sophisticated rename rules,without causing broken links in the PowerPoint files that point to them.
• Safeguard healthy links in PowerPoint files, allowing them to be automatically fixed when they become broken.
• Fix broken links in safeguarded PowerPoint files totally automatically.
• Generate a report listing all PowerPoint files containing broken links, so they can be fixed before causing problems.
• Generate a regular report listing each PowerPoint file followed by a list of the files it links to.
• Generate a cross-reference report listing each linked file followed by a list of all the PowerPoint files that point to it.
• Report whether a file is being pointed to by any PowerPoint file anywhere on a user’s system, thereby letting the user know whether the file is safe to delete.
• Perform sophisticated global search and replace operations on file names contained in links in hundreds of PowerPoint files with a single command.
