Newbie help needed.
I do not have Director, but have received a .dcr file that I would like to
play in PowerPoint. I can do so using a hyperlink but would rather see the
movie full screen than in IE.
I have inserted the movie thru Developer in PowerPoint 2007, changed the
Properties SRC to link to the .dcr file that is in the same folder.
THE PROBLEM ... I can see the movie in SlideShow view the first time after I
have inserted it, then I cannot see it again, even if I exit SlideShow View and
go back in. If I close the PowerPoint presentation doc completely and re-open
I can again play it once but only once.
I'm sure I'm doing something simple incorrectly and would appreciate any help.
Thank you.

rdy1tk2,
a DCR file is a Director Shockwave file, you would normally play this through
a Director application
we call a projector or using shockwave through in a web page.
I have no idea whether powerpoint even knows to look for the shockwave library?
Your best bet really is to ask a powerpoint expert.
