Changing name or position of videos

[Guest]

I hope someone will be able to help me, I am becoming crazy.....
I changed the position and the name of some video files (in order to keep
organized my directory), and now all my Powerpoint presentation are not able
to run the videos in the slides anymore.
With the old version (I am using 2003 now) it was easy, PPT asked the new
file's position or name and you could link the presentation in the slides
with the new position in the new folder in just one step.
But with PPT 2003.....no way.....I tried all the night.
Thanks a lot for anyone's help.

When you add a video to a presentation, PPT stores the full path to the video.
If you move the video to a different folder, the path is then wrong and PPT
won't find the file.

It's best to put the video in the same folder as the PPT, THEN add it to the
presentation, but if you really must keep the videos in different folders, try
this:
