RE: how do i insert a movie

Hi Bekkie

To insert a movie in Powerpoint 2007:

1. Click the Insert tab on the ribbon

2. In the Ribbon click Movies in the Movie Clips section

3. Select where you are getting the movie from and after selecting you movie indicate whether to play "Automatically" or "When Clicked"

4. When the movie is on the slide you can further tinker with it using the Options section in the ribbon

Hope this helps

Carlos

Powerpoint tip:

Capture Screenshots in Powerpoint 2010

A great new feature to Powerpoint 2010 is the "screen clipping" command. This allows you to capture an image on your screen directly via powerpoint.

Go to your insert tab on the ribbon and in the images box you will see "sreenshot", click on the arrow and select "screen clipping". Powerpoint will minimise and you will be taken to the next open application or your desktop. Wait a few seconds a your screen will grey out a little and your mouse curser will turn into a + sign. Hold your mouse down and select the area you wish to capture. When you let go of your mouse the selected area will be exported into your powerpoint presentation as an image which you can edit.

It really simple and very effective, give it a go!

This feature is also available on Excel and Word.
