No good advice on how to fix it, but for future reference:

I train all the teachers here to have the movie files and the powerpoint in the 
same folder and then it doesn't save the full path.  You can move the whole 
folder to wherever and it will still work.

Subject: [tech-geeks] PowerPoint linked movies not working


Geeks,

I have a user that has a boatload of PowerPoint presentations that have linked 
movies.  Unfortunately, PowerPoint embeds the UNC path instead of the drive 
letter path.  The server that the movies were on is being removed from the 
domain.  Does anybody know of a way to mass fix the links?  Preferably, free.

Thanks.
