MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / May 2006Music in show
I am using PowerPoint 97. I sent a file to another party which had music embedded in it. They are using WindowsXP and I am using Windows 98. They can play the file but can't hear the music. Can anyone offer me any suggestions? I have no problem hearing the music when I run the file. Hi Neil- The key question is was the music REALLY embedded. Check on your computer by right clicking the sound icon and > edit sound object Does it say "file -contained in presentation"? If instead theres a path to the file it isnt embedded. You can only embed wav files and to do so you need to make the value in tools > options > general "link to sounds etc" larger than the sound file size (you can go to 50000) You must do this before you insert the sound  Signature----------------------------------------- Did that answer the question / help? _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist > I am using PowerPoint 97.

I guess that is why they dont embed. I cant remember ever seeing wav files smaller than 50000. Where can I find Info on how to reduce them. Mose of mine run 150k or more.

I set mine for 25KB, did all the other steps as you instructed but it still wont play for people to whom I send it and they are mostly using Windows XP. Any other suggestions?
