How do I get a media clip to play to all when I e-mail a presentat

[Guest]

I have inserted a medie clip into my presentation. It works perfectly when I
view, but when I e-mailed it to a friend for editing she could see the icon,
but not hear the midi. I need to send this presentation to a large group and
would like to know how to make sure they are able to hear the sounds.

Thanks

You must include the media clip with the presentation when you send it.
Media files are not embeded in PowerPoint, they are linked files.

Create a folder, move the ppt and midi to the folder.
Re-insert the midi into ppt.
Save the ppt.
Zip the FOLDER using WinZip or WinRaR.
Send the zip file.
When you sent through email, the recepients will need to extract/unzip the
folder out before playing the presentation.

email a presentation"

I followed your directions and I'm still not able to make it work... I
created a forlder, addded the ppt and midi files. Reinserted the midis into
the ppt and zipped with WinZip. They still can't hear it. What do you
suppose I'm doing wrong? I got the midi files from the MS site. I really
need to get this sent out today. I would appreciate your input

If they're doubleclicking the ZIP file and then running the PPT from within it,
it won't work. They have to extract all the files from the ZIP to a folder and
then run the PPT from there.
