how can i embed a movie in powerpoint
i want to transfer the presentation and movie on to a disk and then use it
from the disk. At the moment the movie is linked and you cannot change the
link because of read only on a disk

 

[David M. Marcovitz]

Movies cannot be embedded. They must be linked. You shoudl be able to get
a relative link (that will work when you transfer it to a CD) by creating
folder for your presentation, putting the presentation and the movie file
in that folder, being sure that the presentation file is saved in that
folder, and linking to the movie (if you already link to the movie,
delete the link and link again). See "Sounds/Movies don't play, images
disappear or links break when I move or email a presentation" from the
