In your folder C:\Videos, copy your presentation and all your video/sound files into this folder. Then using the Insert Movies and sounds, insert your sounds and videos into your presentation. The hyperlinked material, if it is somewhere on your computer must also be copied to the C:\Videos folder and re make the hyperlinks. When it is all done copy that to your thumb drive.

Hi Michael,

I've tried what your suggesting and found that the link which is created
includes the full direction ie C:\Documents and Settings\....\videos\test.wmv
Using the following method to insert movie;
Insert --> Movies and Sounds --> From File

When I move the folders to other PC etc... the link won't work because they
are looking at the file direction above.

I remember when I worked with front page etc.. the recommendation you made
will work with hyperlinks and web pages can be moved without issue.

The only solution I have found which works is creating a directly on the C
drive, example c:\Videos\ and getting that folder moved at the same time as
the ppt's.

Are we doing something wrong?

Bill
