Remarks

Setting the ExtraInfo property of a shape's Hyperlink object is optional, and is equivalent to setting the value of the ExtraInfo cell in the shape's Hyperlink.name row.

You might, for example, set the Hyperlink object's ExtraInfo property to the coordinates of an image map, the contents of a form, or a file name.

If the ExtraInfo property you provide contains reserved characters other than spaces, you must input the escape character "%" and the character's hex equivalent. For example:

For "NAME=John Smith", set the ExtraInfo property to "NAME=John Smith," because the extra information contains spaces, but no reserved characters.

For "PATH=driveletter:\foldename", set theExtraInfo property to "PATH=driveletter%3A%5Cfoldername", because of the reserved characters.
