Sending a Powerpoint Show to someones email

Hello,
Does anyone know how I can Make a Powerpoint slide show with video, And be
able to
email it to someone, and when they open it up view it with the video?

I am able to view it here with video on my computer, but when I email it,
they only see it as a slide show.

Thanks,
Alison

Alison,

If you put the video clip file, in the same directory as your .ppt file

then do a

Insert menu movie from file

The get the clip into powerpoint.

Then save your powerpoint file.

Email your powerpoint file and the video clip.

Ask the recipient to save both files to their computer somewhere.


Then providing they have powerpoint (or the powerpoint viewer) installed,
they should be able to video the show

my .ppt file?

By ".ppt file" TAJ means your presentation file. You may have saved it as a
..PPS file. Locate the folder where you saved it and follow the steps TAJ
provided.

Alison,

What Sonia said.... but also.....

Most windows XP computers are set not to show your "full file name"

You would just see

"mypresentationname"

where as hidden behind the scenes you file is really called

"mypresentationname.ppt"

So that's what I was referring to....when I say your .ppt file.



Cheers - Thanks Sonia

Thank you for all your replys!

I am new to this Powerpoint thing, so I need clear
instructions. So what your saying is that I need to open
up PP and create some slide shows, then save it,
then make sure that I save the video in the same file that I saved the PP?
If my video is in my documents, and the PP is in my documents is that the
same? Or is there another way to save them together?

Thanks Again!
Alison

You can use My Documents to save your presentation file, but you'll probably
want to save it to a folder within My Documents. Something like C:\My
Documents\My Presentations. The video file must be in the same folder BEFORE
you add it to your presentation. So, open PowerPoint and create at least one
slide and save the file to
C:\My Documents\My Presentations. Move your video file to C:\My Documents\My
Presentations. Now, in PowerPoint select the slide where you want the video to
be shown. Go to Insert Movies and Sounds Movie from File and locate your
video file. When you send the presentation file via email, send the video file
also.

Thanks so much!! That explains a lot.

My other question is this. If I have to attach the Video
File along with the PP presentation in an email, what size
can the video be? I am trying to send a 75MB and a 16MB along in the email,
and it wont go, Is that to big to
send and if so, how much is the max I can send?

Thank you,
Alison

That is way too big to send via email, Alison. Many (most?) email systems
have a limit of about 2MB for email.* The actual limits may be a little
larger than 2MB nowadays even with free email programs such as Hotmail, but
most still have a limit of some sort. 10MB limit for individual emails is a
pretty common setpoint, too.

Also, when you attach a file to an email, be aware that there's some
additional file size that's added to the email -- I think it's usually
around 1/3 of the attachment size. So, for example, if I attach a 2MB file
to an email, the email message will probably be closer to something like 2.7
MB. And that may well put you over a 2MB email limit on some systems.

You might want to consider sending a CD instead. Or maybe you can consider
using WinZip (or even the zipping features in Windows XP) to zip up the
video and the presentation and upload them to a file sharing site for the
person to download. If you do that second option, you'd only have to email
them a link to the file share.

*I did hear yesterday of a client who was trying to email us an 85MB file!
When we told her that that's waaaaay too big to email, she apparently said
that she and her colleagues email those files around to each other all the
time. (Yikes!) But see, Alison, that's an internal email thing as opposed to
an external email thing (which is what you're trying to do). Usually you
cannot send email that large. Nor do you want to.

That's WAY too big. Most people's mail servers only allow about 5 MB. You'll
need to burn your files to a CD and mail the CD. You can also create an autorun
CD so that the user only has to insert the CD and the presentation plays
automatically. Nothing is installed on their system and they don't need to have
PowerPoint. See:

Make an AutoRun CD
