Thanks for the advice. I know that, have already been caught in that pitfall. That is why I always carry a free viewer of the same version as the one I build the presentation (sigh!!), a bunch of video codecs (K-Lite) and, in case everything fails, a portable VLC. If my colleagues would at least be kind enough to have OpenOffice installed on their machines also... Thanks again Francisco
