Crashing issues with AVI movies (Macintosh)

S

sync

I'm trying to develop a PPT presentation on a Mac (Office 2004 for Mac) for
eventual use on Windows machines. I'm able to insert an AVI movie into the
PPT. As expected, the "compatibility report" warns me about potential issues
with Windows playback of QuickTime movies, and suggests saving the file as a
"PowerPoint Package". When I attempt to do this, the application crashes. In
fact, when I save the normally, close it, then reopen it, the application
crashes, rendering my file completely useless. Both crashes produce the
message "Microsoft has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry
for any inconvenience."

I thought AVI was the recommended format and so I didn't expect to have this
trouble. Very frustrating. Does it matter that the file icon for the AVI file
is the QuickTime icon.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
sync
