MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / November 2007How do embed .avi movies into powerpoint 2003?
I am trying to embed a number of .avi animations into ppt slides. The program is clearly linking the animations not embedding them in the ppt file. I cannot find a control to allow me to embed rather than link. What should I do? Thanks for looking Nothing to do, that is how PowerPoint works and it can't be changed. All media files are linked, never embedded.

Do I have to use the presentation cd route, or will it work with the avi's in the same directory as the ppt file?

If you have already inserted it from a location other than the presentation folder you will have to delete them and re-insert them AFTER moving them to the right folder. If you don't they will fail on the other PCs. Once that is accomplished you can then zip the entire contents of the folder and send it as an attachment. When your receiving party gets the email they MUST unzip all the contents in to a folder with a short path name. I suggest "C:\test" or some other short name. Unpacking to the desktop and trying to play the presentation will fail about 50% of the time so make mention of it to your email recipient.

Was I being dim, or is it not there? Anyway, thanks a lot, you just made a whole class of students happy as well as letting me get off to bed!

In 2003 you can "save the file for transport" (or something like that) - but that option is not in 2007. My question is then: How do I move my ppt. + media files in one step without breaking the links... regards Per > No, Austins' still right: can't. > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >>> > >>> > Thanks for looking In 2007, y'll find "Package for CD-ROM" Office button/Publish > The avi files (and other media files) are not embedded they are "linked" - > problem is then that you can not move the ppt file.
