Michael Berry asked the following question:
QUESTION: "I have been working with a PowerPoint presentation
into which I have inserted a link to an MS Word file and then
uploaded the presentation to a Web server."
"Internet Explorer yields wonderful results," says the
reader.
"But Netscape is a whole different matter." Why?
"Netscape's
anti- Microsoft attitude opens the PowerPoint presentation in a
separate window, using either the full application or the viewer
to run the presentation."
"No problem here," says the reader. "I don't get upset
until I discover that all the relative file references are reconfigured
to the C: drive, rendering my Word files inaccessible."
Michael says that the he had read that the "Pack and Go"
facility of PowerPoint would disassociate any path statements to
audio and video.
Thinking this would help, he gave it a try.
The result?
"No improvement," he says.
