Re: [applekeynote] Re: hyperlink showing it's been used

Oh, that's too bad.  Guess I'll keep using it in Power Point.  Thanks for your help.

You can't get it to happen in Keynote. PowerPoint's hyperlinks have always been more like 
browser links, almost like the app had been built on Internet Explorer (which wouldn't be a 
surprise). Just like with a browser, you can set the colors of a hyperlink to be able to 
determine if it's been visited or not. Keynote doesn't have any way to easily replicate this. 
To get an idea of the workaround for Keynote, download the smallsquabble.key file in the 
Files section here. You'll see that, because Keynote doesn't keep track of visited links, 
you'll have to create a separate slide for each permutation of possible results....
