title: Follow hyperlink in Powerpoint VBA
body: <p>I am currently using this code in Powerpoint Macro in VBA to shoot up a browser with a URL:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ActivePresentation.FollowHyperlink Address:="http://www.participoll.com/faq/", 
                                     NewWindow:=True, AddHistory:=True
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But this works only when there is an active presentation. I want to execute or invoke a browser to open a hyperlink, even though there is no presentation. Is there an alternate code for the above?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
