Video - problem browsing for missing link

[puppymalo]

In all versions of PowerPoint 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 find this option anywhere in the properties????

Which now results in having to re-insert the video file again - a
major pain if you have a complex slide with loads of builds.

Am I loosing it ... is it really not there anymore?


thanks

Jeff
