I want to embed a video on a slide, together with the text of what is being
said in the video in a textbox. I'd like the textbox to have a vertical
scrollbar so that if all of the text isn't visible, the person can scroll up
or down to read the text. I will have to save the PPT as HTML, also. Is
this all possible?

Luc, thanks so much. I figured it out late last night after I posted. What
I'm doing is putting a clip from a videotaped deposition into a PPT slide,
and pasting the text of what the deponent is saying in a textbox. Because
the text can be quite large, I needed to have the scrollbars in the textbox.
I was able to then save it as HTML for viewing in IE. Works like a charm!

Thanks for the link; great website! Creating an autorun CD is exactly what
I'm trying to accomplish here, but I've been using DemoShield. Maybe I'll
try the other method described on this website ... :)
