Hi,

I am trying to enbed music to a power point slide show to be viewed by my
correspondents on their own PC (using power point of course). I am following
the procedure entitled "Adding Music, Songs, or Sound Effects to a slide
show". When I think I am done, I find out that the added music can be only
heard at the PC where the slide show was originated, and not elsewhere on
another PC. I am obviously doing some thing wrong.
Could somebody tell me how to do t right ?!? In advance, I thank my
correspondents for their diligence.

First of all, only WAV files get embedded.

And you need to choose the largest file size that can be embedded -- this
can be chnaged in Tools | Options | General.

Even then, it's a good idea to right click the sound object on the slide,
and select Sound Options. Does the dialog box provide a link, or does it say
'Embedded in presentation'?

WAV files can be embedded and other formats can be linked only in
PowerPoint.
You must package them all or choose alternative way to transfer your
presentation with musics.

See my advice:

Bob,

We have an add-in to PowerPoint that handles all these issues automatically
when you send a presentation called "PFCExpress". You may download a copy
