Slide show converted to html

[Guest]

I have converted a slide show, which includes some videos, to html to include
in a website. Whilst this has always worked successfully on my machines, I
have had reports that in some recent versions of IE the videos don't show.
Almost as puzzling is that the font which I used on the original (arial
rounded MT bold) has sometimes changed to Times Nerw Roman. Any ideas?

The videos playing on one machine, and not another suggest specific machine
configuration. The font is dependent on what the individual has installed on
his/her machine.

When you say "on my machines" do you mean "any old machine that I have handy" or
more specifically "the machine I created the presentation on"?

In the latter case, it *would* work. See, PowerPoint doesn't embed videos. It
links to them. Even after converting to HTML, I'm pretty sure, the link will
still point to whatever folder on your hard drive the video file originally came
from. As long as the file's there, the video will play.

But since the rest of the world doesn't have access to the file, it won't work
for us.

A bit peculiar that it should change to TNR, but not odd that it should change
... Arial Rounded MT Bold isn't on most computers, so when your web page
requests it, the local copy of MSIE/Windows has to substitute something else.
