MS Powerpoint - if you cannot copy paste a link try this

 I tried and tried to insert a hyperlink in MS PowerPoint. Such a thing ought to be a no-brainer. But no. As usual either Mac or Microsoft or both in a sinister conspiration decided that this simple task shoul seem impossible.

But there is a stupid wordaround:

• SHIFT + CMD + V
  
• Insert unformatted text
• Now you can paste the link string
• Copy the #€%&/& link again
• Now you can paste the link in the link insert thing

Don't tell me that the window based programs are more easy to use than a terminal. What a silly waste of time. 

PS: Please, don't tell Mac or Microsoft about this hack ...
