Cathy,
>Used the insert movies and sound menu and set it to automatically play.
This is good.
Video clips are *always* linked, never embedded.
To get around the paths/folders being different on different PCs put your movie
file in the same folder as your .ppt
before you insert the video clip.
See this page for more details (Particularly the "movies and sounds"
section..beginning "Pick (or create"..."))
