ppt2007 links
in [Powerpoint]

From: verizon news groups on 15 Feb 2010 14:58 I am working on ppt2207 presentation that will be packaged for a CD. Now I find out that the company that is publishing the CD has a file name limitation of 8 characters. I realize that all my files that are linked will have to be renamed but my question is for jpg and wmv file links.Are these files embedded in the presentation and, therefore, not exported; or are the files linked and therefore will be exported for the CD package. In other words, all my linked jpg files, do I need to rename them too? Thanks, Vic

WMV files are always linked as are all video files. You didn't mention sound files so I won't go into the details, but some are linked and some are embedded. --David -- David M.

8.3 filename was the default in the early days of computers, when space was at a premium on 64k machines. I'm willing to bet there are a number of users out there still using that format -- Michael Koerner MS MVP - PowerPoint "verizon news groups" <none(a)verizon.net> wrote in message news:u40A4kqrKHA.1796(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > David, > > Thank you for your response; you just saved me a whole lot of work.
