MAKING CLOSED CAPTIONING BIG INSIDE THE WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER:

After Teachers have reconfigured the text file and video, they generally open it up to play inside WMP (windows media player) and they don't have success because there are TWO settings you have to change to be successful.

First, go to PLAY on the menu bar and pull up Lyrics, Captions and Subtitles and make sure it's turned on.

Secondly, go to TOOLS>OPTIONS>SECURITY TAB; make sure the box is checked that states SHOW LOCAL CAPTIONS WHEN PRESENT.

Now, when you open that video it will show the closed caption!
