Links to external files

[KAStigator]

Hi,

I have this problem with links to external files in PowerPoint. You see, if
I build the PowerPoint presentation with MPG files found on my C drive, it
always goes to look for the files in the C drive. How can I play the
presentation from the D drive in another computer without having this
problem?
How can I edit the links to the files in a way that it does not matter the
drive the files are in? I mean that I can put all the files in the CD and
the presentation will not be affected if the CD drive is D or E.

Thanks a lot in advance!!

Delete the existing mpgs! Move the mpgs into the same folder as the
presentation and reinsert. As long as the whole folder is there the links
will work on any drive (assuming they work where they are now !)

Thank you for your reply and thank you for giving me a free and simple
solution. It's so simple I blushed in shame.

Thanks again!
