i need help sending correctly a powerpoint slide show,via e mai?

[omar andres]

i've created a powerpoint slide show, it contents 4 slides, some phrases,
some pictures and one song, this one i want to stay playing during the full
presentation, so far every is ok, and i watch the presentation perfectly in
my computer, but when i send the slide show via e mail,as an attached file
the people only receive the visual part they don't get the music, so the show
seems like is in mute mode, maybe i made some mistake saving the presentation
(i did save it as a powerpoint show)gor maybe i have to do some thinh else in
order to get it working, thanks everybody, u are so nice!!!

Do this (assuming your music is not a wav file):

Create a new folder.
Place your PPS/PPT and music into the folder.
Open your PPS/PPT and re-insert the music.
Save.
In Windows Explorer, right click on the Folder and select Send to >
Compressed (zipped) folder.
Attach the zipped folder to your email.

E-mail your PowerPoint with music embedded: Just compress them into one.

Hi, I am still confused on how to compress a PowerPoint slide show for email.
The file is too large for most servers and quits after scanning 99% of the
email. I have 6 slides with music beds that match each slide. The total time
of music is about 3 minutes. It seems that PowerPoint only accepts wave files
which makes the file too large. We've tried saving it several ways, and even
tried WinZip to send via email, but it still doesn't work. I am new at this
so sometimes terminology is hard to grasp. I appreciate any help you can give
us. Thanks.

Winzip won't help with file size because for all practical purposes, PPT
files are pre-zipped. They don't shrink much more.

However, if you use MP3 rather than WAV files for sound, you can knock the
sound file sizes way down. But MP3s are always linked rather than
embedded (* hang on, John, I'll get there <g>)

If you put the MP3s in the same folder as your PPT file FIRST,
Then add them to the presentation, THEN
ZIP the PPT and the MP3s into a single file AND
Send that along with instructions to the recipient to keep all the files
in the same folder when they unzip ...

It should WORK.

There's also a trick to make PPT think that MP3s are WAVs and embed them.
It's explained here:

Sounds/Movies don't play, images disappear or links break when I move or
email a presentation

* and John's got a tutorial on his site that explains this in more
detail. With pictures. 'N stuff. Over to you, Mr. W.

let your it-guys make an ftp server on your servers so clients can download
it there
forget emailing big presentations
only 5 mb is often far to much if you want to email
