Deactivating Keynote hyperlinks

I have a new Keynote presentation with urls listed, but only for information purposes, not designed to be linked to while presenting. While everything worked fine before my presentation, during the presentation itself when I tried to advance beyond a slide with a link (by clicking), Keynote hid itself and then attempted to link out using Safari. I frantically discovered that using the right arrow key would advance the slide without Safari coming into the picture. The same thing happened using my Keyspan Remote as well. Is there a way to deactivate this process, so Keynote will not try to follow the link?
