Create button -> in Slide 1 click "Click to add text" and type example -> highlight text -> click Insert -> Hyperlink -> in Target combo box type www.launchpad.net -> click Apply button -> click Close button -> File -> Save As -> File name: example -> File type: Microsoft PowerPoint 97/2000/XP (.ppt) -> Save button -> Keep Current Format button -> File -> Exit -> open via the Terminal:

The hyperlink is preserved.

It's confirmed in 3.3.1. Looks like a missing feature. Would Radek have a review? Thanks!

Not reproduced with Version 4.0.2.2 (Build ID: 4c82dcdd6efcd48b1d8bba66bfe1989deee49c3).
Comment 3 malekpatryk 2014-03-26 15:46:18 UTC
Still an issue in 4.2.2 rc1.

VERIFIED WORKSFORME as per below environment. However, while one may click the text and it opens a web browser, the color is different then before it was closed, and reopened. Different problem for a different report:
