PowerPoint Warning

[Bill164]

Hi,

I am new to Mac, having recently migrated from PC, so please excuse my ignorance!

I am running a Mac Book Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and with Office 11 for Mac installed.

I have a number of PowerPoint slides with hyperlinks to various video clips. Each time I run a session I receive a warning about the possible dangers of running a file and asking if I would like to open the file. The files are mostly .flv files and I am using MPlayerX. Once I say "yes" everything runs fine.
How do I switch off this warning on a Mac? On PC we were able to do a reg-edit but I don't know what to do on a Mac. I know a work-around is to insert the clip into a slide but for various reasons this is not ideal

Many thanks in advance

Powerpoint warning

See if this works...

Click on PowerPoint ->Preferences -> View Tab -> Uncheck "warn before a linked file, application or macro is opened"

Click OK

Restart PowerPoint...

Powerpoint warning

Hi Timothy,

Many thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately I have tried that and it doesn't suppress the warning - perhaps because it is not a "macro".

Any other suggestions? This really is becoming a nuisance in my life!

Thanks again!
