I seem to be having trouble with a power point presentation utilizing a midi
file. Does PowerPoint support MIDI?

Yes, it does. What kind of trouble are you having?

When I insert a midi into a slide, the symbol appears as for all music
files. When I click on that symbol and request that it play, I got no sound
at all. I just assumed that MIDI did not work since the same action for
mp3 files does indeed produce sound.

Sorry for the delayed response. I have been out of town. That is odd. Are
you sure it is really a MIDI file. What happens when you double-click on
the file? Does it play in something else? Have you tried playing it in
Media Player (not the fancy Windows Media Player) because that is what
PowerPoint uses. While we're at it, what version of PowerPoint are you
using?
