presenter to show their slides on an external display while viewing

I have hundreds of presentations.
They all worked perfectly yesterday.

So, office just got updated to 11.3. Does it fix the problem with
PowerPoint 2004 11.2.5+ messing up hyperlinks (as outlined in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925438/en-us)? I just rolled back my
version of Office to 11.2.4 (which fixes the problem), so I don't want

I want to do something in PowerPoint 2004 on a Mac that *I* think is simple:
Play an intro QuickTime (or SWF) video. In other words start with the first
