I have a powerpoint presentation that has a sound file inserted on the first
slide. The sound file is an icon of a speaker. I want to save the sound file
to use in another presentation, I can't save it. I right click on the icon
but it doesn't give me the option to save. I tried copy and paste but that
won't work. How do I access the actual sound file the icon is based on so I
can save it? I am using Powerpoint 2000.

Thank you in advance for your help.

How did you insert it? I mean if you had it on your hard disk and inserted
it, it should still be there.

To see if the sound file is embedded, right click on the icon and select Edit
Sound Object. If it says that the file is included in the presentation, you'll
need to do the following:

Go to File > Save as Web Page and select HTM as the file type. A folder plus
one file will be created. Look through the folder for a file with a file
extension of WAV. That will be the sound file you're looking for.
