relative path

[Karlo Petri]

Hello,

I have a presentation including some Videos. If I now copy the complete
directory of the presentation to a CD the power point does not find the
videos anymore, as the path is absolute in the presentation pointing to
the video in a way like "e:\myData\presentation\video\film.mpg". The
presentation itself is located in e:\myData\presentation. So I just
tried to make the path ".\video\film.mpg", but Power Point 2000 is
expanding the path again to e:\myData\presentation\video\film.mpg.

If there any trick how to include a video with a relative path or a
workaround how I can copy a presentation with videos included to a CD ?

Put all you videos into the same folder as the presentation before you link to
them. then copy them to the CD. The links should stay intact.
