creating ppt

[Marco]

Hi all,
how can I create a ppt file with all musics inside with Power Point
2000 or XP? I mean, I need a ppt because I don't want other people to
be able to edit my work, so pps is not what I need. In these Power
Point versions only making "portable presentations" I can export the
presentation with its music files, but this way I get a pps!
If I try to save as ppt it does not put music files inside it.
How to do that?
Thanks,
Marco

Marco,
Only wav files can be embedded and only up to 50000 Kb. Tools - Options -
General tab - set the value next to 'Link sounds with file size greater
than' to 50000 Kb.

Along with what Luc has said when your in your .ppt file and click on slide
show your file becomes for the period of the presentation a .pps file. There
is no difference in the files other than the way that they open. Both can be
edited if the person has the full version of PowerPoint on their system

I don't think you have it quite right here. A PPT and a PPS file are identical
in *every way* except for the last letter in the file name. The contents of
the files are the same; PowerPoint just treats them a bit differently because
of the different extensions.

Either one can be edited. There's no difference in the way the sound is
embedded (or not).

See Luc's suggestions to learn how to embed the sounds.
