power point viewer does not run presentations as planned

[ripo]

I make a nice presentation in Power Point 2000, but when I try to open it
in power point viewer 2003 (or 97) the movie clips don't play, the sounds
are out of sync, etc. It runs great when running with "view slide show"
in power point 2000. Any ideas?

This sounds like it is two different issues.

Issue 1 --
Movies don't play. I suspect that the movies either did not get included,
or the links were severed when the presentation was moved. The solutions to
this issue are to be found at:

Issue 2 --
Sound timing. There are a lot of factors.

Thanks for the reply. I can assure you that there were no broken links
All my files that comprised my presentation were in the same folder
I then used powerpoint viewer 2003 to open the ppt file from this folde
and the movies did not play. Yet in my powerpoint 2000 program it ran fin
by selecting view show. I was able to get it to play in a viewer by using "pack and go
and including the viewer with powerpoint 2000 which was "PPview32". This sam
file from "pack and go" would still not play as it should in PPviewer 2003

How long are the file paths? Limit the path to under 120 or so character.
Movies are played on different system devices between the two viewers. This
may be the source of the problem. Does reducing the path length solve it?
