RE: Powerpoint

Hi, I have used the same movie from clip file and it works ok for me. The only thing I can suggest is that you might not be running the powerpoint presentation view but instead trying to get the movie to run in your normal view. The movie wont play in normal view, try running it in presentation view and see if that works.

If thats not the problem please email me the file.

Thanks
paul

Powerpoint tip:

Display pictures inside shapes

Here is a suggestion for adding a professional touch to your presentations: displaying pictures within shapes. This can look particularly good if you use pictures within circles or stars.

To create this effect, draw a shape on your slide from the Drawing toolbar.

Click on the Fill Color button found on the Draw Toolbar usually found at the bottom of the screen; or alternatively right-click on the shape and select 'Format Autoshape'.

Select the Fill Effects option then the Picture tab. Use the 'Select picture' button to find the picture on your computer, then click Insert. Selecting the 'Lock picture aspect ratio' helps to keep the picture in proportion.
