I want to insert y hyperlink to an .xls and am using the prescribed 'insert link - file ' method however there where the file should be selected from my Documents (in Finder) - I keep seeing the turning wheel.
What should I do differently ?
Thanks in advance for your help.....

Are you seeing this dialog box?
Have you tried launching the .xls by itself to see if it is intact?
Ask on the Microsoft forums since it''s their software you have questions about. These forums are for troubleshooting Apple products
Yes I do - and when I click on Documents, it leads me to Finder - but takes ages (hours !) to list the folder - and again ages to get to a file.
Turning wheel keeps turning and I can only regain control by ending PPT completely.
Same happens in WORD : hyperlinking does not work (I have only 40% of the memory used , so that should not be the problem....).
Would be great if anybody could help :-)

Are any apps other than MS Office slow? Was your MBP slow prior to Yosemite update?
No the other MS (and other) apps are all working fine. Also hyperlinks to website work well and are easily set up.
I had not yet tried to set up hyperlinks to MS docs before upgrading to Yosemite... so cannot tell how it was before :-(
So in summary I only have the problem when I click on 'documents' in :
this will lead me to the turning wheel and takes ages ( hours ?) to show me the list of folders in FINDER.
Hi, Pieterst!
This is somewhat of a standard reply **, but reinstalling Office 2011 might (vielleicht) address problems that you may be experiencing.
The current version of Office 2011 is 14.4.8.
First - find your Office 2011 install disc with the product key # - and only then remove Office according to MS instructions

Or go here to DianefromOregon's site for help removing Office 2011:

Then Reinstall from DVD
Then enter your Product #
After successfully reinstalling Office 2011, update your Office product using the Software update within Office called Microsoft Update or going to the Help menu within Word or Excel or PowerPoint and select Update.
It may take a few times before you get to final upgrade to current Office version.
It should be 14.4.8 as of current date.
