RE: Powerpoint - including clips into presentations

Hello Monica

Thank you for your post.

Please find a link below to instructions on how to include a clip from YouTube in your PowerPoint presentations:

I haven't tested these instructions but have a go and let me know how you get on.

Playing DVD clips I think will be slightly more complex, I will have a look into this for you and address this in a separate reply.

Hi Monica

With regards to including dvd clips in your presentation, there seems to be two approches:

1. DIY, using various bits of software. There are some comments about this on the following page:

2. Use a piece of software designed specifically for this purpose. There is a piece of software called Plays For Certain which you can get on a 14 day free trial to try:

Powerpoint tip:

Ways to make exact copies of shapes

There are several ways of making exact copies (duplicates) of shapes you have already drawn in PowerPoint:

1. Use Copy and Paste.

2. Select the shape you wish to duplicate and use Ctrl + D.

3. Select the shape to be duplicated, then hold down the Ctrl key while you drag to the position where you want the duplicate shape to appear.
