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.

    Steven, I agree that girls and boys both are doing things their parents would be shocked at, which is why I pointed to the article as an example to make sure you learn as much as your kids do. I don’t really care if it’s boys or girls, kids need their parents to have some…
