Heya guys,
I just encountered a very strange problem with Microsofts Power Point. I started creating a Presentation, because I wanted to make a something like a small cartoon (of course, its no cartoon, but its got photographs, music and movies). I dont know if PP is the best program for that, but everything worked out quite good until... I came to the thought that I would like to share that little cartoon of mine with other people, particularly friends whose pics I used in it. :bouncy: Anyhow, I first just saved the PPP and copied it to my Notebook. Everything worked, EXCEPT the music and small movies didnt work. Ok then, I thought, I guess I have to save differently. The file (*.ppt) had been too small anyway (it was only 2 MB, though there are movies and music files for like 40 MBs in it). So I tried some stuff and came to the "Save as Webarchive" option. So I saved it that way on my USB-Stick. Everything was neatly in one place, one file and one folder with all supporting files (everything is there). So I started the presentation on my notebook from the USB-Stick (because I thought that maybe the paths to the support files have to be correct)... but... it still doesnt work. All files are on the USB-Stick, automatically copied there by PP itself, but the paths in presentation are still from my stationary PC. So what can I do, to be able to share the presenation?
thx for the help and MERRY CHRISTMAS,
Talas
