I wrote about a problem with inserting .wmv video files in Powerpoint 2007 a
few days ago. After doing some research I figured out that I'm able to insert
videos in Powerpoint 2007 however, it appears that there is a limit to how
deep in the My Documents folder the Powerpoint file and associated videos can
be stored. I had my files stored in the My Documents folder but I have them
in about 5 folders deep. Once I moved the Powerpoint file and associated
videos to the first level of the My Documents, there was no problem. Has
anyone had this problem and are you aware of a bug in Office 2007 that causes
this?

Hi

Yep, common problem. It's to do with the maximum filepath length allowed
which is, off the top of my head, 128 charcters (I think).
