Put the
media clip in the same directory/folder where the PowerPoint presentation
is located. If the PowerPoint presentation and the media clip are both
in the same directory, the path to the media clip will not need to be specified
and there is a higher likelihood that the clip will play correctly. |
1. Make
the Control Toolbox visible (View > Toolbars
> Control Toolbox).
2.
Click the More Tools icon in the lower right of the Controls
Toolbox. A pop-up menu will appear. Select Windows Media
Player from the pop-up menu (Figure 1).
|
|
3. The mouse
pointer will change to a thin plus sign. Drag the mouse pointer to the size
you want the media player to appear on the slide (Figure 2).
|
|
4.
Right-click on the Windows Media Player and select Properties
from the pop-up menu. A dialog box similar to Figure 3 should appear. (Custom
is highlighted because the mouse pointer was clicked in the field to the right
of Custom).
|
|
5. Click the button
displaying the ellipse. The Windows Media Player Properties
dialog box will appear (Figure 4).
|
|
6. Click
the Browse button to locate the file.
7. After the file name and path have
been filled in the File Name or URL field, erase the path
part of the field so only the file name remains.
As
an example, if the file name and path were c:\temp\x.wmv,
you would erase c:\temp\ so that only x.wmv remained in
the File Name or URL field. (This assumes that the PowerPoint
presentation would also be saved in c:\temp.)
