I have created presentations with PP 2007. I am trying to run those
presentations on PP2000. I have downloaded all the pertinent updates to the
2000 system and they simply will not run (video). I have also saved it w/in
PP2007 as a PP97-2003 to no avail.
Any suggestions?
 
Are you saying the video won't run?

Video isn't embedded, it's linked. Did you send the video along in the same
folder with the presentation?
 
I see a word "Video" in your post. Are you trying to run a video from
within PPT. If so, have you copied the video file to the PPT 2000 computer
and is it in exactly the same file structure that was used to create it.
This is a limitation on earlier versions of PPT in that the video needed to
be in the same file structure as when it was created. That is why when I
create a PPT presentation, I always create it in a named folder on the Root
of the C: drive and keep my file/folder structure for the presentation
totally within that folder in the Root.

In other words I create this structure and move all pertinent video or
graphic images into the folders before I insert them into a PPT
presentation:
C:\
C:\PRESENT - This is where I save the PowerPoint main file and the .PPT file
is the only file present here.
C:\PRESENT\PHOTOS - any still images
C:\PRESENT\VIDEO - any video
C:\PRESENT\SOUND - any music or voice overs
C:\PRESENT\TEXT - prewritten text that I copy into text boxes

When I transfer the file to another computer's C: drive I also transfer all
the subfolders as well. That way I almost never have any issues when I have
to take my presentation on the road.

What file format is the video in since this may also have a bearing on what
your issue is?
