Saving PowerPoint Packages

[BigPlay]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel

Hello everyone,

I am on Mac Office 2008 trying to save my power point presentation as a package so it gathers all the files and puts them in one convenient folder.
When i save the package it creates a folder but none of my movies or audio files are brought with it (I have 3 movies and 3 audio files). Of course it works on my machine but, when I show it on another computer (PC Office 2007) none of the audio/video files play. I also get an error on the PC, the file you are attempting to play has an extension (.) that does not match the file format. Do you want the player to play this content. (Which it Wont)

Any help which be appreciated

No one ever answered me unfortunatly.I haven't tried since a couple of Microsoft fixes. You might be able to avoid it if your make a powerpoint folder with all the slides videos and audio files in it. So all the root slide,video and audio is the same and when you show it to others on a flash drive or cd all the files should be in that one folder. Solving that packaging issue.

Hi,

That is a bug that I thought was fixed by an update.

Make sure you have your office fully up to date. If it is, please
report this bug to Microsoft. Use Help > Send Feedback to let Microsoft
know that you are affected by this bug.

The solution to the problem is to hold the Option key down and drag any
media files that were used in the presentation into the package folder.

I will do my best to bring it to the attention of the PowerPoint team,
too, if you post back that you did indeed have all the updates installed.

-Jim
