 Try these keystrokes the next time you are in power point.

Hi, this is Helga. I just wanted to ask you, What do you think I should do about the lecture videos? What did you do in order to access them? Just curious!! Also, I just wanted to tell you that I didn't see  any enlisted  thing that you mention regarding in how to play or pause a Lecture video in this message. I will really appreciate it a lot, if you could help me with this. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks so much and God bless!! :) P.S. I forgot to ask you, do you know how to download Windows Media Player in an iPhone, or any apple device? Just wondering, since I actually log in to Blackboard using my iPhone, and I found my Professor's Recorded Powerpoint Lecture, but it didn't play the video, instead the iPhone show the video as a WMB link. Thanks again for all your time! ;)
