PowerPoint and music

March 11th, 2010
  • I simply want to embed music in my PowerPoint presentation. I've read several help files, but stupid me can't figure it out. Can someone walk me throught this? My end result would be to have a CD with the Powerpoint and music all in one. :banghead:

    If you Insert, Sounds, From File and choose a WAV file of say 50kb, it will be linked to your presentation.

    But if you first went to Tools, Options and set Link Sounds With File Size Greater Than: to more than 50kb, PowerPoint would embed the WAV and you wouldn't need to worry about the link breaking because there'd BE no link.

    So, in other words...in powerpoint go to the "tools" menu. Choose "options". then click the "general" tab. then set the "links sounds greater than x" to a really high number. Bigger thank your wav file. Then re-insert the sound file using "insert sounds file from". Then powerpoint will embed and not link the file.

    Aloha,

    Thank-you for the replies. I think my problem lies with my music file. It's in MP3 format not a WAV file, although from what I read, it doesn't matter. Prior to posting this queston, I did get as far as changing the file size to 50,000 kb. I'll be trying again. Again thank-you for your replies!


  • I'm a bit of a ppt newbie also but you could try the @Pack and go feature" - it'll put all the linked files and the presentation into an exe file which you could put on the CD

    HTH
