RE: Embedding Videos

Hi Alexandra

Thank you for your question.

There are a few reasons why people won't be able to see your videos when you send the video to them with a PowerPoint presentation.

There is a quite informative tutorial on this page:
http://www.playsforcertain.com/tutorial.htm

Video files will be linked to (rather than embedded in) presentations by default, because of their size. Also there are only certain types of video files that are compatible with PowerPoint (QuickTime isn't one of them).

I'm not sure if this will work or not, but once you have tested to ensure that the video plays properly in PowerPoint, you could try using the Pack for CD option in PowerPoint instead of zipping the folder (Office button - Publish - Package for CD).

Kind regards
Amanda

Powerpoint tip:

Embedding fonts in a presentation

If you create a PowerPoint presentation which is likely to be viewed on other computers, there can be problems with displaying the font/s you have used in your presentation when it is opened on other machines.

You can embed the fonts you use in your presentation in order to try and get around this issue.

When you go to save your presentation (File - Save as), go to the Tools button at the top of the Save As dialogue box and select Save Options. Under 'Font options for current document only', tick the Embed TrueType fonts option, then select the secondary option underneath that applies best to your situation.

Click OK, then Save.
