Realplayer

[max5445]

Hi don't know whether i've come to the right forum (not too good with computers). I have a couple of problems, first one: I have a clip on my realplayer, i would like to move this clip onto Powerpoint, can anyone advise me on how to do it. My second problem is: when i go into certain internet sites ie google, hotmail, the font size is huge, how do i readjust it. many thanks in advance.

As long as you have realplayer installed, it should be as easy as just dragging and dropping the media file. Or use Insert --> Object --> Create From File.

For your web browser, i assume that you are using Internet Explorer? (If not, then the cause is the same, it is just slightly different to correct it). Goto View --> Text Size and then select 'Medium'.

Let us know if it all works!

Hi thanks, the font size has worked, however the message i am getting when trying to insert the clip into Powerpoint says 'Powerpoint cannot insert movies from the selected file. Verify the path and file format are correct'

You're quite right about the powerpoint, I've been trying it on my computer.

The only way that I can see around it is to either just link to the file from powerpoint, or use a programme to convert the file to a compatible format (wmv, avi, mpg etc.).

Something like: http://www.boilsoft.com/rmconverter.html should work.

I have never been able to get realplayer files to integrate with Office! I agree with Gatto in that you need to convert the media to a microsoft compatible format.
