how to save a powerpoint presentation so all video/audio/images a.
Making a powerpoint presentation with a lot of video and images.. I want to
email it to a friend. When I save the presentation, will it include these other files, or do I have to email them along with the presentation? |

No, video files are linked. Image files are embedded unless you specifically
linked them. You will have to send the video files along with the presentation. -- Sonia Coleman Microsoft PowerPoint MVP Team Autorun Software, Templates and Tutorials "DaveHamilton" wrote in message ...

You can import it as an embedded object, but then it will open up in a
seperate window to play, right? J "Sonia" wrote in message ... No, video files are linked. Image files are embedded unless you specifically linked them.

Thanks Steve!

I suspect the reason is that PowerPoint itself can't play video files, it can only hand them off to the external MCI media player for playback, and I presume that there's no provision for the player to grab and play video data out of memory vs. from a disk file. In any case, I couldn't agree more that something needs to change. Whether it will in the next version of PPT is a matter for the tea leaf readers and crystal ball gazers. MS ain't talkin'. They may not even have it nailed down yet. Other posts here suggest that it might be possible if I delete all my videos, copy the videos to the same folder as the .ppt, and then re-attach them. This will be a monumental pain in the arse with so many videos to re-attach, and I am just hoping that this will still work when I burn a CD of that folder and send to a friend (and/or when i try to package it up into a auto-play thingy). As to the PITA-ness of it, yes. There's a commercial add-in that'll do the job for you but if it's just something you want to share with friends, that's probably not in the (credit) cards. (How'd we get back to sooth-saying?) It should work to do the job manually as you've described, with two provisos: 1) Your friends must be able to play the videos in the MCI player using the codecs they've got installed on their computers. In other words, if you do the re-link thing, PPT will be able to find the video and ask Windows to play it; it's then up to Windows to finish the job. If it can't because the vids use a codec that's not installed on the target computer, it won't fly. Again, there's a commercial addin that can help with the codec problem. www.pfcmedia.com - the free demo's good for 14 days, so if this is just a one-shot, it's WELL worth investigating. 2) Your friends mustn't start PPT and do File, and then click the file's name on the most-recent-files list. If they do that, the links will likely break. Do you know if MS has any plans to let people embed any filetype in future versions of Powerpoint, to avoid this unnecessary waste of time and effort?
