Audio files in *.ppt

[R.]

Hello.
I have made a presentation in PPoint2003 with many audio samples.
Everything is good if I run slide show on the same PC, where that
presentation was made.
But when I try to run it on another computer I have problem: there is no
sound.
Why? It's obvious - on the second computer there is no file (eg.)
E:\my_audio\sample1.wav
But there is no chance to merge audio file with presentation, like the
images are merged (or I cannot do it).
Is there any chance to make my presentation portable with many audio files?

Regards
R.

If you have wav files, you will probably need to increase the size limit for
embedded (rather than linked in) wav files. That option is configurable at:
Tools | options | General pane
and increase the "Link sounds with file size greater than .. "
to a value appropriate to your needs.
MP3 or WMA files cannot be embedded (although there are hacks for MP3
embedding that have mixed success).

Ok, just wav. I see this option, but do I have to increase it??
'Link files _greater_ than' -> IMHO that means 'If file size is greater
than x kB link it into presenation' -> so increase or decrease. I'll try
both.

Neither increasing nor decreasing gives any result.

Ok, there is a solution.
Unfortunately I need to cut my sound and insert it again (after
_increasing_ max file size). A lot of work..

You shoudl INCREASE it. You don't want the wav file LINKED in . you want it
embedded so you shoudl set the LINK IN size to be GREATER than the largest
wav file you want embedded.
(as usual ... MS docs tend to be worded in a somewhat cryptic and misleading
fashion unless you think uber-Microsoftesque)
