Embedding sounds!

[Guest]

Hi,

I am making a presentation and I added some music. It is a .WAV sound and
it has 13KB. I was trying to embedd it but I can not figure it out how to
do it. I click in tools, then in options, then general and where it says
"link sounds with file greater than 100KB" I change that number for "50000".
Then I went back to "Edit sound object" and it the file is embedded it is
supposed to say "contained in presentation and it doesn't" it says "C/..."

I hope someone can help me.

Hi Tammy

Try taking the sound out, changing the options as you said then adding the
sound back in. Works for me (I'm using PowerPoint 2003)

Hi Lucy,

I did it and it didn't work. I am also using PowerPoint 2003 and I am
adding the sound from the clip organizer so I do not understand why is the
problem.

Thank you anyway,
Tammy

1. Do you have all the office updates applied?

2. Try this article http://www.echosvoice.com/gotchas.htm#SoundAdvice

Sorry - I think all the real experts are asleep

I'm actually a pom, but don't tell anyone ;-)

Did you delete the sound and then re- insert?
Should work

You could also try embedding as a transition sound. See here for tutorials:
