Instructions for PP 2007:

Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real effort to make a good article... but what can I say... I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.

Does this work with videos posted onto Vimeo? More and more people are using it because it is ad-free.
What nice and professional article you have held, really you have impressed me. I respect your comment from my bottom of heart.

thanks. No one else made it so easy!
Thank you thank you!! My company has an amazingly old version of PowerPoint and you just plussed up my presentation with this tutorial. I am going to look so fancy... :-)
Are you versed in the specifics on how to trouble shoot issues with this? I am encountering an issue with the presentation of the youtube video during the power point. When it is forst loaded it requires me to address a window about the risk it poses to my computer and requires me to click from the computer and also prevents the autoplay feature. How can i get past this. The presentation is being managed by a remote so i cant just walk up to the comp during the show and do this. I need to be able to have it flow automatically. Can you help?
