PPT2001: Inserted Movie Pauses Slide Show (268403)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft PowerPoint 2001 for Macintosh

This article was previously published under Q268403

SYMPTOMS

Movies set to play across multiple slides do not do so when you save the presentation as a Microsoft PowerPoint Movie. Instead, the inserted movie pauses the slide show and allows it to continue only after the movie is finished playing.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, do not save the file as a PowerPoint Movie, but instead run the presentation from within the PowerPoint program.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
