embedding music clips into email attachment

[Guest]

Have created powerpoint presentation, and saved as powerpoint show to send as
email attachment.....audio clips which are not WAV are not playing when
received- I think I have to embed them? How do I do this (without starting
afresh....)

 

[Bill Dilworth]

Here are a few options ....

Convert the sound files to WAV format (down-sampling if possible) and
reinsert them into the presentation

Convert the MP3 files into a pseudo-Wav riff file. This fools PowerPoint
into thinking it is a wav file and embedding it.

Move (or copy) all the sound files to the same folder as the PPT file and
send the entire file

Package the whole thing up as an exe. However, I would be far less likely
to open any exe, even if it was from a known source.

Have a look in the sounds section here
http://www.PPTAlchemy.co.uk
It explains how to embed wavs and mp3 files if you need to embed other
formats like wma or midi we can often do a conversion for you to embeddable
mp3. (this is not a free service but its not expensive!)

Tricia,

As others suggest you can rebuild everything (ugh) or you can use the free
add-in "PFCExpress" and let it do it all for you.
