The Microsoft Office 97 and the Microsoft PowerPoint 97 compact discs
include an add-in for PowerPoint called the Publish to ASF Add-In. If
you install this add-in, you can create ActiveMovie Stream Format (ASF)
movie (.asf) files from your presentations.
ASF movies are designed to play across the Internet (or across a company's
Intranet.) They are usually low frame-rate movies that can include a
compressed audio soundtrack.
When you create an ASF movie from a PowerPoint presentation, what you get
is basically a narrated slide show. When you play the movie, you see your
slides (minus animation effects) and hear your recorded narration (if any.)
To install the Publish to ASF Add-In, do the following (these steps assume
that the drive letter for your CD-ROM is D:).
| 1. | Open the following folder on the Office 97 or PowerPoint 97 compact
disc:
D:\ValuPack\Asf
|
| 2. | Run the following program called Asfppt.exe.
|
| 3. | Follow the on screen instructions.
|
To play an ASF movie, you must install the ActiveMovie player. If you
don't already have this installed, you can install it from the Office 97
or PowerPoint 97 compact disc:
| 1. | Open the following folder on the Office 97 or PowerPoint 97 compact
disc:
D:\ValuPack\Amovie
|
| 2. | Run the program called Amovie.exe.
|
| 3. | Follow the on screen instructions. |
