afaik, the Insert-Object-Sound/Video commands are mainly still there out
of historical reasons. Normally, Insert-Movie&Sound should be used.
Are there any conditions where the Insert-Object-Sound/Video commands do work
in OOo3?
If there is info in the Help, I've been unable to find it, and some of
what I
have found doesn't seem to correspond with what I see in WinXP.
please send me some pointers to the incorrect Help pages.
On the page titled "Movie and Sound" in the Impress Help is this:
---------
To play a movie or sound file in an Impress presentation
1.Open the slide that contains the movie or sound file.
2.Click the object icon for the movie or sound file on the slide.
3.Click Play on the Media Playback toolbar.
---------
Is the help talking about previewing the movie or sound? IIRC, the preview
works that way. But when showing a presentation, if I have used Insert > Movie
and Sound, it starts playing immediately when the slide is opened. No need to
click, and the Media Playback toolbar is not there.
If I used Insert > Object > Sound/Video, then there is an Object icon on the
slide, but clicking on it does nothing.
