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
