I am losing pictures in a powerpoint file I have. They are being replaced by
red Xs.

I have just arrived in the British Virgin Islands from the UK to take up new
employment in education.  Much work was prepared in the UK using a legitimate
Office 2000 Professional Powerpoint 2000.  The government college where I am
now employed uses Office 2003 from the USA.  

A co-worker can't go directly to a slide from slide sorter view by double
clicking on it.  I've never seen this before and wonder if anyone can tell me
if there is a way for him to turn this feature on?

another picture in the background of a blue sky.

Would like to know if you can track changes in PPT as you can in MicroSoft

Can anyone tell me how to start a .AVI file automatically as soon as you
enter a slide and the next slide to come up automatically when the video
finishes.

Hi. What is the code for positioning the "handle" on a callout textbox? The
callout was created with "AddShape(msoShapeRectangularCallout)".
Thanks for any suggestions.

i have powerpoint 2000 in arabic and i want to save some files with password
protection, but the Tools menu does not have a security tab

I have completed a presentation and am happy with the content.  When I run
the presentation, is there a way I can get the slides to appear automatically
one after the other, rather than clicking each time?
Thank you.
