Subject says it.... the help file says
Choose Insert/Format - Picture - Macro tab

macro on load of a new slide - this seemed a possible route, but looks
unavailable. Any ideas welcome please.)
Hi,
the Help page that you cite is for Writer only. You cannot see this page
when you call the Help from Impress.
I see what you mean. My bad. Thanks for pointing this out. (But why the
inconsistency between OOo components?)
While the Writer UI supports to bind a macro to an event, in Impress it
looks like you need to do some macro programming:

Yes, thanks. I believe I saw that one. It runs the given macro though
for /every/ slide change. It did cross my mind that the slide requiring
the video might have, say, a dummy item of a given name on it to act as
a flag for which one might check -- but it's presently totally beyond my
knowledge of the API to do the needed search through the items on a
given slide. No doubt it's Easy When You Know How :-(
(Pointers/examples very welcome please!)
