The big debate

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I have to admit, my expertise when it comes to Powerpoint is limited, to say the least. So I’m asking, in PowerPoint 2000, when you use the Insert menu to insert a multimedia file into a presentation, does it link the file, or embed the file? And if it only links the file, what steps need to be taken to embed the file?

My guess is that it links the file, because someone did that here and it worked on his PC, but no one else’s, and didn’t work when he was disconnected from the network. All of which makes sense if the presentation is using a relative link to find the media file.

    Yes, first thing this morning, sparks flew, and I had to lug monitors around the office to replace the shorted one before I even had my first cup of coffee. Not the way I like to start my day. Heavy lifting in the morning is no good for me. 🙂 Follow these topics: Uncategorized

    As someone who has been job-hunting online, I’ve seen my share of these types of scam emails. I’m glad to see someone getting the word out about these things. The best ones though are the “we can help you get you a job, but we can’t give out any private information about how we do…

    It’s System Admin Appreciation Day and in honor of the day, I’m staying home. No, not really, I’m staying home to administer to my own digestive system, which seems to have some corrupt data that needs to be purged, if ya’ know what I mean. *L* It’s also Chris Pirillo’s 29th birthday. Happy birthday you…
