How to link a movie clip to play in the slide with a relative path

[Jonathan]

I have a movie clip that I wish it to play in the powerpoint slide itself .
I tried to insert a movie from file, but it will be an absolute path instead
of a relative path. Is that a way to change it to a relative path?

Thanks.

Jonathan,

If you put the movie clip in the same directory/folder *BEFORE* you Insert>move>from file. Then powerpoint will be able
to find the video clip, even if you then move both the .ppt and the movie clip to another directory/folder
