MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / September 2004can i embed a midi file in ppt 2003
I am trying to embed a midi file in a slide. When I insert it using the Insert / Sound from file option, it appears to be embedded, but when I play the presentation on another computer, the sound doesn't play. However, it doesn't appear on the Edit / Links menu as a link. Also, when I try to Package for CD, it can't find the file. I browse to it and get it copied on the CD, but it still doesn't play off the CD. So if it isn't embedded and it isn't linked, what is it and how do I get it to work? No, the only files that get embedded are wave files.

I don't always trust Pack and Go. The best practice is to only link to files that already reside in the same folder as your presentation. So, I recommend that you copy the midi file to the folder where your presentation is, open PowerPoint, open your presentation, delete the midi, and then insert the midi from its new location. That should clean up the link address. Then you can burn all the files in the folder to a CD and you can be confident that it will work correctly on any system.

But you can embed those sound in the form of wav . Just convert your midi files to wav .
