Hello. I have three related questions (they're all ways to skin the same cat,
but answers to all three would be helpful):
The problem is, I have a Powerpoint presentation with LOTS of audio and
video clips (100 maybe), but the icons you click on to play them (in Action
settings --> Run program) are scattered in several subdirectories. Which is
fine since the subdirectories are organized into a hierarchical tree, but the
problem is THE SUB-DIRECTORIES CONTAIN LOTS OF OTHER AUDIO AND VIDEO CLIPS
WHICH ARE NOT PART OF THE PRESENTATION.
How can I:
1. Automatically copy just the presentation with the clips it references to
some other location while leaving the unreferenced clips behind.
2. Run a 'change all' command on all the URLs pointing to the clips from
within Powerpoint to change the disk letter so that, e.g. instead of running
from drive C as it currently does, the whole presentation could reside on
some other disk drive.
3. Package up just the presentation and the clips it refers to into one big
file (= object embedding instead of linking).
And maybe we could add #4:
4. Package up just the presentation and the clips it refers to into one big
file which could then expand into the full directory structure on some other
site. (Actually, if #1 is possible, then Winzip could do this one.
Thanks for your help!
