Locating video files in PowerPoint 2003

P

puppymalo

In XP - if a video file link cannot be found you get the option to
locate the file by browsing - in PowerPoint 2003 I cannot seem to see
this option anywhere in the properties????

Am I loosing it?


thanks

Hello,

PowerPoint 2003 does not have the same capability that earlier versions did
which allowed you to browse to locate media files when links had been
inadvertently broken.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that PowerPoint should
provide features for link management (fix, change, break, etc.) for more
than just OLE linked objects (without have to resort to VBA or 3rd party
add-ins), don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to
Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
