Hi Lieven:
I don't have windows pymol or access currently to a windows machine, so
I will have to tell you how I did it on the Mac version and then hope
it is essentially identical with windows.
I did this about 6 months ago in order to hyperlink quicktime to
Powerpoint in XP. I am assuming hyperlinking to Pymol would work the
same way, since it works the same way on a Mac. But you never know
with Windows since 90% of the operating system seems to be dedicated to
preventing you from using your computer.
Open up powerpoint and create a new slide.
In it put a word or picture or something.
Then select that word or picture or whatever it is.
Go to insert > hyperlink
and then put in the full file hierarchy path to your pymol application
Then when you are in presentation mode, you click on this and it starts
pymol. On XP it seemed to embed it in situ (at least when I was using
quicktime). In OS X it changes over to the pymol display. That's the
basis for my claim that it works better in XP. I apologize if this
doesn't.
HTH,
Bill Scott
