Hi,

I'm trying to develop a PPT file which can be used by low abilit
(techno wise) colleagues - but have come unstuck.

I want to put the finished file into a folder which my colleagues wil
then put their 'stuff'. This folder can then be saved to CD and posted
(or zipped etc) It will operate a little like a portfolio.

I want to hyperlink to each slide from the first page (no problem) an
for each slide to have a particular action (i.e. insert video, inser
image etc.).

PPT 2003 features the ability to do this (although it offers a six ico
group of active content, I can work around this) but . .  and here's th
problem: Each active icon opens it's own dialogue box (e.g. insert vide
opens 'media catalogue', insert picture goes to 'my pictures' etc).

HOW CAN I CHANGE this to just open in my folder (in which the file wil
be saved)?

Frustrated.

AFAIK you would have to alter the registry to do this and of course you would
need to do it on users machines.

If you can do this  I think the key which controls the "My Pictures" path
is at
HK Current User> Software>Microsoft>Windows>Current Version > Explorer>User
shell Folders > My Pictures

Dont think you can alter the video clip path

Did that answer the question / help?

Yes, thanks  - that helps. If only to prove what I'd feared - it's too
difficult to do.

I was just looking for a simple solution to overcome user
(un)confidence.

Thanks for your time.
