Powerpoint help
Hi
Can anyone help me
I am doing a couple of powerpoint presentations that have slides containing avi's. i have the whole presentation and original copies of the avi's in the same folder on my usb memory stick (i.e. i have inserted them onto the slides from the stick)
everything runs fine as long as the memory stick is plugged into a certain usb port. or hard drive.
how do i get it to run on any drive/port.
cheers

Doesn't PP just link to a file rather than embed it? In that case the actual file 'location' will change as the drive letter of the USB changes. Can you not edit the file 'location' to be the current directory instead of the full path?
HTH *IF* that's what is happening ....

I've run Powerpoints with WAV's AVI's etc. without problems from a memory stick.
I wonder if I have set a default to save the AVI "Inside" powerpoint. I know there is an option to pack down the photo's to make it smaller and wonder if that's on the same menu ?
I'll have a look tonight
