Embedding the sound clips

If the sound clip is small then it should be automatically embedded in the presentation. This means that if you email the presentation, the sound clip will be included in it.

However if the sound clip is a large file then you may have more difficultly.

Select Tools > Options > General

You will need to adjust the Link sounds with file size greater than setting so that it is larger than your sound clip.

  2. I have ‘ripped’ music from a CD into my music folder. When I try to insert a track into a PowerPoint slide, it refuses to recognize it as an audio file, despite its property file saying it is a .wma file.
    This works OK with a sample file, so what am I doing wrong?
