Re: How can I play several movies simultaneously within a slide?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

If you're creating a new textbox when double-clicking, then you're in editing view. I'm sure that John meant you should try that in Slide Show View.

Here's a quick tutorial on triggers for the PC -- I know there are bunches more out there. http://www.echosvoice.com/triggers.htm

Once you've created a trigger, it shows up in the animation pane as a grey bar.

Regret to have to report that single-clicking outside the videos does
nothing, and double-clicking creates a new text box.
Also, the solitary reference to "trigger" in the Help appears in a topic
about Macro Viruses. Where is the "grey trigger bar".

If you have set the animations as you say then try clicking anywhere except
on a video.

If you want to click the video to start them all try adding a trigger set to
"play" for the first and drag all the other with previous "plays" below the
grey trigger bar
