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.

    Seems the new relaunch of Blogger gave people the opportunity to grouse once again about Blogger’s use of Atom instead of RSS. Fair enough. To add a bit more fuel to the fire, the dirty little secret is that the old BloggerPro accounts do support both. Notice how my feed is RSS, version 0.91, I…

    Craig sent me an email over the weekend suggesting a PC newsletter that he had come across. Right off, I recognized the name and remembered subscribing to it years ago, but I didn’t know they were still around. Apparently though, the Internet Tourbus is still going strong.
