I've inserted the Windows Media Player into PPT2003 as an Object and assigned
a movie to it. Is there a way to change the player's skin? Have latest
version. Thanks.

Hi Peggy,

I assume your question goes beyond "How do I change a player's skin?"
(which, in WMP10 would be View | Skin Chooser | <choose a skin> | Apply
Skin). I'm betting you'd like to have the pre-selected skin of the
object be in the slide, then have it play your media.

I'm not certain you can have a skin different from the default one
display as an inserted media object on a slide. I could be wrong -- a
VBA tweak might be all it takes, but that's beyond my ken.

A workaround might be to take a screenshot of the desired player/skin,
place that image precisely on your slide, then assigning an action to
that image to activate WMP in that same skin right on top. Two objects
looking like one.

Hope that helps,
Tony
