From Wendy Russell, former About.com Guide

Back to the Shockwave Flash Object

1. Restore the PowerPoint window to full screen, if necessary.
   
   
2. Right click on the large rectangle with the X in the middle (the container for the Flash movie) and choose Properties from the shortcut menu.
   
   
3. When the Properties dialog box opens, click (Custom) at the top of the list.
   
   
4. Click on the ... button beside (Custom). This is called the Build button.

Note - If you are missing the (Custom) entry at the top of the Properties dialog box, this article on Problems Inserting Flash Movies in PowerPoint will take you through the steps to make the necessary entries manually.
