Playing movie clips from the original DVD movie disc in a presenta

We have been able to secure licensing to use certain movies in our business presentations, however these licenses of course don't permit the use if you rip it from a dvd. We typically will have 4-6 movie clips we use in a presentation and were trying to find a way to play them directly from the dvd disc (which is allowed under the license). So I didn't know if there was a way to bookmark spots on DVD's in the presentation so you didn't have to find the right spot every time? Or maybe there is a third-party software that can do this? I am willing to minimize my presentation

How to record which objects a user clicks on

Hi, New to the forums here. I would like to know how to track which objects a user clicks during a powerpoint presentation. I realize this will probably require a macro and that is where I need help. I'm fairly tech savvy, but I don't know how to program in VB. Whenever there is a mouseclick on an object in the slideshow, I would like two things to happen: 1) Advance to a particular slide (which I see can be set easily in the program) 2) Write data, to a separate file (it can be a text file), that reports which object was clicked.

PP 2003: Problem with slide masters

I have a presentation I've created in Powerpoint 2003. It has 6 different masters. When I make a change to a master, shouldn't I see that change reflected in the slides that are using that master? What I'm seeing instead is the change being applied only to the slide that happened to be selected when I changed to the Slide Master view, even when I choose to "apply to selected slides." Newly created slides, of course, are correct. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

With PowerPoint 2007, in 2003 Compatibility mode I've inherited a file with two slides with similar simple 2-d column charts that apparently were imported somehow from Excel (I assume this because when I create fresh charts the tools are completely different).

The macro of Steve still works, but finally when I print out the resulting notepages I again only have an image of the slide on the nodepage.pdf This is driving me crasy. What is wrong??? Maybe it is to early to discuss PP2010 things here. If so let me know. TIA Peter
