I have had trouble getting some video clips to run in powerpoint, are there particular video file formats that ppt 2003 is not compatible with?

Hi Mike,

AVI is the most compatible format.

PowerPoint-friendly video formats are AVI, MPG and WMV.

It can also depend on which platform you are running powerpoint (Windows or MacOS) as Macs may have more support for QuickTime formats.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Rich

Powerpoint tip:

What Transition Effect?

You can discover whether a transition effect has been applied to a slide by looking for the transition symbol below the slide in Slide Sorter View, if the slide has a transition symbol, (speeding star) clicking on it will show the transition that has been applied to the slide.
