I created Powerpoint (200) presentation, including audio/sound files for each
slide. (Files were saved as Mp3 files). However, when I burned presentation
to CD it did not embed the audio files, but left the presentation hopelessly
looking for them when played on another computer. The question is: How do I
change or save the audio/sound files from linked to embedded when burning to
a CD? Thanks in advance. -mitch

Only WAV files can be embedded. The best you can do is create relative
links and move the files with the presentation. See "Sounds/Movies don't
play, images disappear or links break when I move or email a
presentation" from the PPT FAQ for more details:
