[BNM] Embedding SWFs in Powerpoint

[Niamh Kiernan]

Hi,

I had a go at following the instructions on http://www.scottmanning.com/archives/000443.php  on a Mac and did not end up at the same place at all. It would appear that you click on Insert/Movies from File. Had a look on Help and located the following:

Types of movies that Microsoft Office can use
You can insert movies in the following formats: 
•  FLIC AutoDesk Animator Animation (FLC, FLI)
•  QuickTime (QT, MOV)
•  QuickTime VR (QTVR)
•  Macromedia Flash (SWF)
•  Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG 2, MPEG 4)
•  Video for Windows (AVI)
Note   All inserted movies are linked to your document. If you need to open your document on a different computer, remember to also copy the movie file when you copy the document. If you don't, you will just have a picture of the poster frame of the movie.

I hope that helps. If you would like me to check anything further in relation to this then send an email off list because I will not see this list till tomorrow.

Regards,

Niamh
