Gee-whiz, I'm a user, just like you, and I have time pressures too. That's
why I
pointed you to the expert site. It has a great index right at the top. And
there's a link to Inserting QuickTime in PowerPoint / Windows. It's one
paragraph long and should answer your question or at least tell you why it
isn't working.
Note the line that says:
As such, PowerPoint versions 97, 2000 and 2002 allow you to insert QuickTime
movies upto version 2.5 - unfortunately, newer QuickTime formats are not
natively supported.
